For Property Managers

Under South Chicago Heights Ch. 30 Fair Housing § 30-28, property owners and managers involved in real estate transactions are expected to ensure that appraisals and insurance arrangements connected to those transactions are conducted without regard to the protected characteristics enumerated in § 30-2. Compliant operators typically work with appraisers and insurers who apply objective, non-discriminatory criteria when valuing property or underwriting insurance. Maintaining documentation that appraisal and insurance decisions are based on legitimate, non-protected factors is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate compliance.
