Cal. Civ. Code § 5
Exemptions. No mobile home park operated by the State or the Federal Government, or park land owned by either, and no trailer park operated for the use of recreational campers or travel trailers shall be subject to the provisions of this Act
Operative Text
Exemptions. No mobile home park operated by the State or the Federal Government, or park land owned by either, and no trailer park operated for the use of recreational campers or travel trailers shall be subject to the provisions of this Act.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742, Illinois's Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act does not apply to every residential park situation. Specifically, mobile home parks operated or owned by the State of Illinois or the federal government fall outside the Act's coverage. Similarly, trailer parks whose primary purpose is serving recreational campers or travel trailers are also excluded from the Act's protections and requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of government-run mobile home parks or recreational/travel-trailer parks should be aware that 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 places their facilities outside the scope of the Illinois Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act. Compliant operators in these exempt categories generally document the nature and ownership of their park to clearly establish that the exemption applies. Those who operate privately owned, non-recreational mobile home parks, however, should not assume this exemption covers their operations.

If you reside in a mobile home park, 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 determines whether the Illinois Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act's protections extend to your situation. Residents of state- or federally operated parks, or parks primarily serving recreational campers and travel trailers, are not covered by the Act's tenant protections. Tenants uncertain about whether their park qualifies for this exemption may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Illinois mobile home law.
