Under the Illinois Human Rights Act, which of the following rental arrangements qualifies for an exemption from fair housing requirements?

Correct Answer

C) A room in an owner-occupied single-family home rented without any public advertisement

The Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/3-106) provides a limited exemption for the rental of rooms within an owner-occupied single-family home, provided the owner does not use public advertising and does not employ a real estate licensee. Both conditions — owner-occupancy and absence of public advertising — must be met simultaneously. This is Illinois's version of the 'Mrs. Murphy' exemption, and it is narrowly construed.

Answer Options
A
A two-unit building where the owner occupies one unit and publicly advertises the other for rent
B
A four-unit building where the owner occupies one unit and uses a real estate agent to rent the others
C
A room in an owner-occupied single-family home rented without any public advertisement
D
A single-family home rented by a non-resident owner through a newspaper advertisement
