Plain English

Under Naperville Title 12 Human Rights and Fair Housing § 12-6-2, both parties in a fair housing or human rights hearing have the right to present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and request subpoenas. Additionally, any person who believes they have been harmed by the matter at issue may ask the Commission—or its designee—to be allowed to join the proceeding as a full party. This provision establishes the basic procedural framework that governs how hearings under Title 12 are conducted.

For Property Managers

When a complaint proceeds to a hearing under § 12-6-2, a property owner or manager participating as a respondent has the procedural right to present their own evidence and to cross-examine any witnesses who testify against them. Operators who are aware of these rights generally ensure they have organized documentation and, if appropriate, witnesses ready to present at the hearing. Understanding that subpoenas may be requested by either side can help a property owner anticipate the scope of evidence that may be introduced.

For Tenants

Section 12-6-2 of Naperville's Title 12 gives complainants the same procedural rights as respondents at a hearing, including the ability to present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and request subpoenas. If a tenant believes they have been harmed by the matter being heard but are not already a named party, they may petition the Commission or its designee to intervene in the proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with the Naperville Human Rights Commission process can help individuals understand how these procedural rights apply in practice.
