Explanation
The Illinois Human Rights Act covers all aspects of real estate transactions, including the sale, rental, financing (credit terms), advertising, and real estate brokerage services. This comprehensive coverage means discrimination based on protected characteristics is prohibited throughout the entire real estate transaction process—not just the initial offer or acceptance. All Illinois real estate licensees must comply with these requirements.
