Explanation
Chicago's Fair Housing Ordinance extends housing discrimination protections beyond the federal and state levels by including additional protected classes: source of income (including housing vouchers), marital status, parental status, military discharge status, and ancestry. Chicago also has strong enforcement mechanisms through the Chicago Commission on Human Relations. Agents, landlords, and lenders operating in Chicago must comply with these additional protections.
