Under the Illinois Human Rights Act, which statement correctly describes source-of-income protection in Illinois housing?

Correct Answer

A) Source of income is a protected class in Illinois housing under the Illinois Human Rights Act.

The Illinois Human Rights Act expressly includes source of income as a protected class in housing, meaning landlords and brokers statewide may not refuse to rent or otherwise discriminate against applicants because they use housing vouchers or other lawful income sources. This protection is part of Illinois's broader fair housing framework, which exceeds the federal Fair Housing Act baseline.

Answer Options
A
Source of income is a protected class in Illinois housing under the Illinois Human Rights Act.
B
Source of income is protected only in federally subsidized housing, not in private Illinois housing.
C
Source of income is protected only under federal fair housing law, not under Illinois law.
D
Source of income is a protected class only within the City of Chicago, not statewide.
