Naperville — Title 12 Human Rights and Fair Housing § 12-6-5
REVIEW BY COMMISSION:
Operative Text
1. The Commission may review any finding, conclusion or order issued under this Title. Such review shall be completed not later than thirty (30) days after the finding, conclusion, or order is so issued; otherwise the finding, conclusion, or order becomes final. 2. The Commission shall cause the findings of fact and conclusions of law made with respect to any final order for relief under this Title, together with a copy of such order, to be served on each complainant and each respondent in the proceeding. 3. The Commission's decision, or the judge's or hearing officer's decision if the Commission does not review the latter's decision, shall be final and subject to administrative review in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit in DuPage County in accordance with the Illinois Administrative Review Law, 735 ILCS 5/3-101 et. seq.
Under Naperville Title 12 Human Rights and Fair Housing § 12-6-5, the Human Rights Commission holds authority to review any finding, conclusion, or order issued under Title 12, but must complete that review within 30 days or the original decision automatically becomes final. Once a final order for relief is issued, the Commission must serve written findings of fact and conclusions of law on all parties involved. Any final decision — whether made by the Commission or left standing from a judge or hearing officer — can be challenged through administrative review in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit in DuPage County under the Illinois Administrative Review Law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers who are respondents in a fair housing proceeding under § 12-6-5 should expect to receive formal written notice of any final order, including the findings of fact and conclusions of law that support it. Compliant operators keep records of all correspondence and deadlines related to Commission proceedings, since the 30-day review window is strictly defined and a decision can become final without further action. If a final order is issued against a respondent, the avenue for further challenge runs through the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit in DuPage County under the Illinois Administrative Review Law.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Complainants in a fair housing matter under § 12-6-5 have the right to receive written notice of the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and any final order for relief that results from their proceeding. If the Commission does not act within 30 days of a finding or order, that decision becomes final, which starts the clock on any further review options. Tenants who believe a final decision was in error may explore the administrative review process available through the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit in DuPage County, and tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois fair housing law can help explain what that process generally involves.
