HB1603 prohibits landlords from discriminating against tenants based on dog breed in multi-unit housing.
HB1603 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act to prevent landlords from refusing to rent to, denying housing to, or imposing conditions on tenants based on the breed of their dogs in residential housing with more than three units. This provision does not affect local governments' ability to enforce animal control laws regarding dangerous or vicious dogs. If a landlord violates these provisions, the Illinois Housing Development Authority must investigate and, if necessary, the landlord can be stopped from violating the law through a court action.
