Homeowners' associations. In order to exercise the rights of a homeowners' association as provided in this Act, the mobile home owners shall form an association in compliance with this Section and Sections 6.28, 6.29, and 6.30, shall be a corporation or not-for-profit corporation and of which not less than two-thirds of all of the mobile home owners within the park shall have consented, in writing, to become members or shareholders. Upon incorporation of the association, all consenting mobile home owners in the park may become members or shareholders. "Member" or "shareholder" means a mobile homeowner who consents to be bound by the articles of incorporation, bylaws, and policies of the incorporated homeowners' association. The association may not have a member or shareholder who is not a bona fide owner of a mobile home located in the park. Upon incorporation and service of the notice described in Section 6.28, the association shall become the representative of all the mobile home owners in all matters relating to this Act, regardless of whether the homeowner is a member of the association.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.27, mobile home park residents who wish to exercise collective rights under the Illinois Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act must first form a legally incorporated homeowners' association. That association must have the written consent of at least two-thirds of all mobile home owners in the park, and membership is limited to bona fide owners of mobile homes located there. Once properly incorporated and after the notice required by Section 6.28 is served, the association automatically represents every mobile home owner in the park on all matters covered by the Act — even those who never joined the association.

Park operators subject to 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.27 should be aware that once a properly formed homeowners' association completes incorporation and serves the notice outlined in Section 6.28, that association becomes the recognized representative for all mobile home owners in the park. Compliant operators generally direct communications and negotiations on Act-related matters to the association rather than to individual residents. Verifying that an association meets the two-thirds written-consent threshold and corporate formation requirements before treating it as the official representative is a standard part of due diligence.

Section 6.27 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 establishes the framework that allows mobile home owners to band together and exercise collective rights under the Act, provided at least two-thirds of park residents have given written consent to form an incorporated association. Once that association is properly formed and notice is served under Section 6.28, it represents all owners in the park on Act-related matters, giving even non-members a stake in its actions. Residents interested in forming or joining such an association may want to review Sections 6.28 through 6.30 of the same statute and consider reaching out to a tenant-rights organization familiar with Illinois mobile home park law for general guidance.
