For Property Managers

Under § 30-26 of South Chicago Heights' Fair Housing ordinance, property owners and managers who participate in financing arrangements — such as seller financing or accepting mortgages — must ensure that decisions are made without regard to the protected characteristics enumerated in § 30-2. Compliant operators typically document financing decisions based on objective, non-discriminatory criteria. Lenders and guarantors working with rental or sale properties in South Chicago Heights are similarly bound by this provision.

For Tenants

Section 30-26 of the South Chicago Heights Fair Housing ordinance gives individuals the right to seek financing for real estate transactions free from discrimination based on the protected factors in § 30-2. If a tenant or prospective buyer believes a lender, guarantor, or other financing party has treated them unfairly on a prohibited basis, general enforcement paths may include filing a complaint with a fair housing agency or consulting a tenant-rights or fair housing organization. Individuals may also wish to review § 30-2 to understand which characteristics are protected under this local ordinance.
