You have rights in Illinois!

LGBTQ+ renters:

Home should be a safe place for everyone.

​

In Illinois, it’s illegal for landlords to discriminate against you based on your sexual orientation or gender identity. No one should be denied housing for who they are or who they love.

​

Open Communities is here to help.

​

We educate and advocate for LGBTQ+ renters so they know their housing rights and feel supported if discrimination happens. Our team can:

​

• Explain your protections under state and local housing laws.

• Help you identify housing discrimination and what to do about it.

• Take action to achieve a resolution.​

Take the first step.
