Mount Carmel — Ch. 8½ Discrimination § 8½-16
Nothing in this article shall prevent any person from exercising any right or seeking any remedy to which he might otherwise be entitled.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 8½-16 of Mount Carmel's discrimination ordinance is a savings clause, meaning it does not limit or replace any other legal rights or remedies that may exist under other laws. If a person has a right or remedy available outside of this article — whether under state law, federal law, or another local provision — that right or remedy remains fully intact. This provision ensures that the article's protections are additive, not exclusive.

For Property Managers

Under § 8½-16, property owners and managers should understand that compliance with this article does not shield them from obligations or claims arising under other applicable laws. A compliant operator generally remains aware that tenants and other parties may pursue rights and remedies beyond those specifically created by this article. Familiarity with overlapping federal, state, and local fair housing requirements is a standard part of responsible property management.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section 8½-16 makes clear that the protections in this article do not cap or replace any other rights you may have under federal, state, or other local law. Tenants who believe they have experienced discrimination may have multiple avenues available, including remedies under fair housing laws beyond this article, complaints to relevant housing agencies, or consultation with a tenant-rights organization. Knowing that this provision preserves all other rights means a single claim or complaint path does not foreclose others.
