Pro Se Assistant

Housing Justice for Chicago Renters

Pro Se Assistant empowers Chicago renters to fight illegal housing discrimination through education, guidance, and pro se support. We help individuals understand their rights, prepare statements, organize evidence, and file discrimination complaints with the appropriate housing agencies — without the high cost of an attorney.

We are not a law firm, but we help renters take action with clarity and confidence.

Have You Experienced Housing Discrimination?

Denied housing using a voucher? We can help.

Chicago law prohibits landlords and brokers from denying applicants because they use a CHA voucher, Section 8, disability assistance, or any other legal source of income.

Denied housing for credit score?

You may have a claim. Credit rules cannot be used in a discriminatory way. If you were treated differently based on race, voucher status, or disability, you may have been illegally denied.

Treated unfairly during a showing?

Unequal treatment — being told a unit is “no longer available,” being discouraged, or being screened differently — may be discrimination.

If So, You May Have A Claim. If You'd Like To Peruse Legal Action Against A Landlord / Owner, Brokerage, or Property Manager.
