Peoria — Ch. 17 Human Relations, Housing and Employment § 17-98
The provisions contained in this division shall not apply to persons or transactions exempted by section 3-106 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/3-106).
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 17-98 of Peoria's Chapter 17 limits the reach of the city's fair housing division by incorporating the same exemptions found in Illinois state law, specifically 775 ILCS 5/3-106 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. Certain persons and certain types of housing transactions that fall within those state-defined categories are not covered by the local fair housing rules. The practical effect is that the scope of Peoria's local protections mirrors, rather than exceeds, the exemptions already carved out at the state level.

For Property Managers

Under § 17-98, property owners and managers operating in Peoria should be aware that only those persons and transactions specifically exempted under 775 ILCS 5/3-106 of the Illinois Human Rights Act fall outside the city's fair housing requirements. Compliant operators typically review whether a given property type or transaction structure qualifies for a recognized state exemption before assuming local rules do not apply. Because the exemptions are defined by state statute rather than local ordinance, operators generally consult the current text of the Illinois Human Rights Act to confirm eligibility.

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

For Tenants

Section 17-98 means that most housing transactions in Peoria remain covered by the city's fair housing division, with only a narrow set of exemptions drawn directly from Illinois state law at 775 ILCS 5/3-106. Tenants who believe a landlord has improperly claimed an exemption to avoid fair housing obligations may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization or the Illinois Department of Human Rights to understand whether the exemption legitimately applies. Reviewing the specific categories listed in 775 ILCS 5/3-106 can help clarify whether a particular housing situation falls inside or outside the protections of Peoria's Chapter 17.
