Orland Park Title 5 Ch. 8 Rental Housing § 5-8-1-5
SEVERABILITY
Operative Text
Should any section or provision of this Code be declared by the courts to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the Code as a whole, or any part thereof other than the part so declared to be unconstitutional or invalid.
Section 5-8-1-5 of Orland Park's Rental Housing Code establishes a severability rule, meaning that if any single section or provision is found unconstitutional or invalid by a court, that ruling applies only to that specific part. The rest of the Code remains fully in effect and is not undermined by the invalidation of one piece. This is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when individual components are successfully challenged.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 5-8-1-5, the Orland Park Rental Housing Code is structured so that a successful legal challenge to one provision does not unravel the entire set of rental housing obligations. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other sections of the Code regardless of any court ruling that strikes down a particular provision. Staying informed about which, if any, provisions have been invalidated helps property managers understand the current scope of their obligations.

Section 5-8-1-5 means that even if a court strikes down one part of the Orland Park Rental Housing Code, tenants retain all protections provided by the remaining, unaffected provisions. Rights and remedies established elsewhere in the Code continue to be available and enforceable. Tenants who have questions about which provisions remain in effect may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or review publicly available court records.
