Operative Text
Termination of Lease. If a tenant shall remain in possession of the premises after the expiration of his lease without having notified the park owner of his acceptance or rejection of a renewal of the lease and without the park owner's consent, the tenant shall pay to the park owner a sum, not to exceed twice the monthly rental under the previous lease, computed and pro-rated daily for each day he shall remain in possession.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 23, when a tenant in a mobile home park stays on the premises after their lease ends without telling the park owner whether they accept or reject a lease renewal, and without the owner's permission, the tenant becomes liable for a daily holdover charge. That charge is calculated on a pro-rated daily basis and cannot exceed the equivalent of twice the prior monthly rent. The provision applies only when the tenant has neither communicated a renewal decision nor obtained the owner's consent to remain.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 23, park operators who face a holdover situation—where a tenant stays past lease expiration without communicating a renewal decision and without consent—are entitled to collect a daily charge capped at twice the prior monthly rent. Compliant operators typically document the lease expiration date, maintain records of any renewal communications (or the absence thereof), and track each day of unauthorized holdover to support any claim for the statutory amount. Keeping clear written records of lease terms and any correspondence about renewal helps establish the factual basis for invoking this provision.

765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 23 sets a ceiling on what a park owner may charge when a tenant remains after lease expiration without notifying the owner of their renewal decision and without consent—no more than twice the prior monthly rent, prorated daily. Tenants who believe a holdover charge has been calculated incorrectly or exceeds the statutory cap may raise the provision as a defense in any collection or eviction proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services familiar with Illinois mobile home park law can help tenants understand how this provision applies to their circumstances.
