Under § 8½-49, property owners and managers should be aware that commission decisions — including those that go against a landlord — are subject to appeal in circuit court under the Administrative Review Act. Operators who receive an adverse ruling from the commission generally document the proceedings carefully, as that record forms the basis of any appellate review. Understanding this appeals pathway is part of maintaining awareness of the full scope of the discrimination complaint process in Mount Carmel.
