Each of the following statements accurately describes Illinois fair housing enforcement and remedies EXCEPT:

Correct Answer

D) An Illinois real estate licensee may lawfully refuse housing services based on a person's immigration status, provided the refusal is applied consistently.

Option D is false and therefore the correct answer to this EXCEPT question. The Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/3-102) prohibits discrimination in real estate transactions based on immigration status. No exception exists permitting licensees to refuse housing services on that basis, regardless of how consistently the refusal is applied. Consistent application of a discriminatory policy does not make it lawful.

Answer Options
A
A housing discrimination complaint under the Illinois Human Rights Act is typically filed with the Illinois Department of Human Rights.
B
After investigation, a complainant may pursue the matter before the Illinois Human Rights Commission or elect to proceed in circuit court.
C
The Illinois Attorney General represents the Department of Human Rights when a case is litigated in circuit court.
D
An Illinois real estate licensee may lawfully refuse housing services based on a person's immigration status, provided the refusal is applied consistently.
