Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(765 ILCS 745/12) (from Ch. 80, par. 212)

Sec. 12. Lease prohibitions.

No lease hereafter executed or currently
existing between a park owner and tenant in a mobile home park or manufactured home community in this State
shall contain any provision:

(a) Permitting the park owner to charge a penalty fee

for late payment of rent without allowing a tenant a minimum of 5 days beyond the date the rent is due in which to remit such payment;

(b) Permitting the park owner to charge an amount in

excess of one month's rent as a security deposit;

(c) Requiring the tenant to pay any fees not

specified in the lease;

(d) Permitting the park owner to transfer, or move, a

mobile home to a different lot, including a different lot in the same mobile home park or manufactured home community, during the term of the lease;

(e) Waiving the homeowner's right to a trial by jury.
If one provision of a lease is invalid, that does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the lease.
