Illinois will soon require landlords to rent and sell property to illegal aliens, opening the housing market to tens of thousands considered deportable from the United States, even as rents remain sky-high in metropolitan areas like Chicago.
SB 1817 into law, which will add “immigration status” as a protected class under the Illinois Human Rights Act.
The law ensures that landlords across Illinois will be banned from refusing to rent or sell property to illegal aliens strictly because they are illegally in the U.S. “This law sets clear boundaries, protecting the rights of immigrants and ensuring that financial institutions and service providers cannot engage in discriminatory practices,” State Sen. Ann Gillespie
in a statement. “Putting these protections in place will promote fairness to ensure people are not unjustly denied housing.”For example, in Chicago, the median rent today is about a month — a bill that is out of reach for most working and middle class Americans. Compare that to last year when the median rent in Chicago was $1,750 a month.
