The State of Illinois also provided data on the offending act during which the alleged act
of discrimination occurred. Complainants are allowed to identify more than one act.
Therefore, the total number of types of acts is greater than the total number of cases
filed during the FY2008 through FY2013 timeframe.
Of the 132 cases filed, about half (73) are composed of only one complaining act, while
the remainder contain more than one discriminatory act. The majority of the alleged acts
were related to the terms, conditions, privileges, or services and facilities (complaint
type 380 in Exhibit VI-4); the second most frequent act was related to the terms,
conditions, or privileges related to renting housing (complaint type 382).
Of the complaints, 24.6 percent could be classified as general discriminatory acts, with
no indication if the actions reference rental property or the purchase of real property.
Nearly 67 percent could be classified as acts of discrimination in reference to a rental
property, and 8.7 percent of the complaints were filed as acts of discrimination in
reference to the purchase of real property.
The following table presents Lake County’s discrimination complaints from FY2008
through FY2013, by classification of the offending acts contained within the complaints.
