Requisites for Rental or Offer of Mobile Home or Lot for Rental. No person shall rent or offer for rent any mobile home which does not conform to the sanitation, housing and health codes of the State or of the county or municipality in which the mobile home is located. No person shall rent or offer for rent any lot in a mobile home park which does not conform to subdivision ordinances of the county or municipality in which the mobile home park is located.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742, mobile homes offered or rented in Illinois must meet applicable state, county, and municipal sanitation, housing, and health codes. Separately, any lot within a mobile home park that is rented or offered for rent must conform to the subdivision ordinances of the county or municipality where the park is located. The law establishes baseline compliance requirements that apply before a rental transaction can lawfully occur.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators renting or advertising mobile homes or park lots under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 generally verify that each unit meets state and local sanitation, housing, and health codes before listing or leasing. For park lots specifically, compliance with applicable county or municipal subdivision ordinances is a prerequisite to offering the lot for rent. Maintaining documentation of inspections and code-compliance records is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing conformance.

765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 establishes that a mobile home or park lot should not be rented to you unless it already meets applicable state and local codes and ordinances. If a rented home or lot appears to fall short of sanitation, housing, health, or subdivision standards, tenants may have grounds to raise a code-compliance concern with the relevant local housing, health, or building authority. Tenant-rights organizations in Illinois can help residents understand what local codes apply and what general enforcement paths—such as filing a complaint with a municipal or county agency—may be available.
