Under Illinois law, which of the following accurately describes the role of immigration status in housing and brokerage transactions?

Correct Answer

C) Illinois Human Rights Act materials prohibit using immigration status as a basis for discrimination in housing transactions, including brokerage and appraisal services.

The Illinois Human Rights Act expressly prohibits discrimination based on immigration status in housing transactions. This protection extends beyond the sale or rental of a dwelling to include brokerage services and appraisals, meaning a licensed Illinois broker who refuses to work with a client or steers a client based on immigration status violates the IHRA.

Answer Options
A
Immigration status is not addressed by Illinois law, so brokers may consider it freely when selecting clients.
B
Illinois law prohibits immigration-status discrimination only in employment, not in housing or brokerage services.
C
Illinois Human Rights Act materials prohibit using immigration status as a basis for discrimination in housing transactions, including brokerage and appraisal services.
D
Immigration-status protections in housing apply only when the applicant can also demonstrate national-origin discrimination under federal law.
