Rock Falls — Ch. 12 Human Relations § 12-26
Effect on other rights and remedies
Operative Text
Nothing in this article shall prevent any person from exercising any right or seeking any remedy to which he might otherwise be entitled.
Section 12-26 of Rock Falls Chapter 12 Human Relations makes clear that the protections and rules established in this article are additive, not exclusive. A person who has rights or remedies available under other laws, ordinances, or legal principles retains full access to those options alongside whatever this article provides. The article does not narrow or displace any pre-existing legal avenue.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-26, compliance with this article does not shield a property owner or manager from claims or remedies that exist outside of it. Operators who are aware of their obligations under other local, state, or federal laws should understand that this article layers on top of those frameworks rather than replacing them. Staying informed about the full range of applicable legal requirements remains part of responsible property management.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 12-26 preserves any rights or remedies a tenant may have under other laws, meaning that pursuing a claim under this article does not require giving up other legal options. Tenants who believe they have been harmed may have avenues available through other local ordinances, state law, or federal protections in addition to what Rock Falls Ch. 12 provides. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify the full range of options that may apply to a given situation.
