Cal. Civ. Code § 380.104
Compliance with Federal and State Law
Operative Text
Notwithstanding anything in this Part to the contrary, this Part shall be construed in conformity and compliance with applicable federal and State law.
Section 380.104 of 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 establishes that the entire Part must be read and applied in a way that is consistent with applicable federal and Illinois state law. If any provision within this Part appears to conflict with a higher-level federal or state requirement, the broader legal framework takes precedence. This is a standard legal conformity clause that keeps the regulations aligned with the broader hierarchy of law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 380.104, operators subject to 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 are generally expected to remain aware that their obligations under this Part do not exist in isolation — federal and state law set the broader compliance floor. A compliant operator typically monitors relevant federal and Illinois state housing requirements alongside the specific rules in this Part. When a question arises about whether a provision in this Part conflicts with a higher authority, the federal or state rule governs.

Section 380.104 means that tenants covered by 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 retain any protections granted by federal or Illinois state law, even if a specific provision in this Part might seem to suggest otherwise. If a tenant believes a landlord's action violates both this Part and a separate federal or state requirement, that broader legal protection remains available as a potential basis for a complaint or defense. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois housing law can help identify which layer of law may apply to a given situation.
