Plain English

Section 1 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 establishes the scope of Illinois's Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act. The law applies to any lease—written or oral—covering a mobile home or mobile home lot located in a park with five or more mobile homes anywhere in Illinois. Any lease term that conflicts with the Act's requirements is rendered unenforceable, meaning the Act's protections take precedence over contrary lease language.

For Property Managers

Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 1, operators of mobile home parks with five or more homes in Illinois are subject to this Act regardless of whether their leases are written or oral. Compliant park operators generally review their lease agreements to ensure no provision contradicts the Act's requirements, since conflicting terms are void and unenforceable. Staying current with the Act's full requirements helps operators avoid situations where key lease provisions may be invalidated.

For Tenants

765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 1 establishes that residents of Illinois mobile home parks with five or more homes are protected by this Act, whether their lease is written or oral. If a lease clause conflicts with the Act, that clause is unenforceable, which means tenants may be able to raise such a conflict as a defense in a dispute. Tenants who believe a lease provision violates the Act can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to better understand how this applicability provision may affect their situation.
