Illinois HB4820 aims to protect veterans' housing rights by prohibiting discrimination based on veteran status and establishing a rental guarantee.
HB4820, known as the Veterans Housing Protection Act, amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to prohibit discrimination against veterans in housing transactions. It defines "veteran" broadly to include members of the armed forces, reserves, and National Guard. The Act also establishes a Landlord Rental Guarantee Program to reimburse landlords for damages or unpaid rent caused by veterans using housing assistance.
