Show Notes

The rent is due this week. But hundreds of thousands people in Illinois remain out of work due to the pandemic. Even though Gov. JB Pritzker has again extended the state’s eviction moratorium until April 3, landlords can still reject prospective tenants for having an “unstable” source of income. And the pandemic has made many industries unstable. Jacoby talks with housing rights advocate, and former Republican Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti, about new legislation that would prohibit source-of-income discrimination.

Guests: Evelyn Sanguinetti, Executive Director, HOPE Fair Housing Center
