Cal. Civ. Code § 6.28
Incorporation; notification of park owner
Operative Text
Incorporation; notification of park owner. (a) Upon receipt of its certificate of incorporation, the homeowners' association shall notify the park owner in writing of the incorporation and shall advise the park owner of the names and addresses of the officers of the homeowners' association by personal delivery upon the park owner's representative as designated in the lease or by certified mail, return receipt requested. Thereafter, the homeowners' association shall notify the park owner in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, of any change of names and addresses of its president or registered agent. Upon election or appointment of new officers or board members, the homeowners' association shall notify the park owner in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, of the names and addresses of the new officers or board members. (b) Upon written request by the homeowners' association, the park owner shall notify the homeowners' association by certified mail, return receipt requested, of the name and address of the park owner, the park owner's agent for service of process, and the legal description of the park. Thereafter, in the event of a change in the name or address of the park owner or the park owner's agent for service of process, the park owner shall notify in writing the president or registered agent of the homeowners' association of such change by certified mail, return receipt requested. (c) The homeowners' association shall file a notice of its right to purchase the mobile home park as set forth in Section 6.25. The notice shall contain the name of the association, the name of the park owner, and the address or legal description of the park. The notice shall be recorded with the county clerk in the county where the mobile home park is located. Within 10 days of the recording, the homeowners' association shall provide a copy of the recorded notice to the park owner at the address provided by the park owner by certified mail, return receipt requested.
Section 6.28 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 establishes a mutual notification framework between a mobile home park homeowners' association and the park owner. Once the association receives its certificate of incorporation, it must formally notify the park owner of its existence and leadership, and keep that information current as officers or board members change. In turn, the park owner must respond to written requests with ownership and legal description details, and both parties must use certified mail with return receipt for most communications. The association is also required to record a notice of its right to purchase the park with the county clerk and deliver a copy to the park owner within ten days of recording.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.28(b), a park owner who receives a written request from a homeowners' association is generally expected to respond via certified mail, return receipt requested, with the park owner's name and address, the agent for service of process, and the park's legal description. Compliant park owners also maintain a practice of promptly notifying the association's president or registered agent whenever ownership details or the agent for service of process change. Keeping these communications documented and timely helps ensure the park owner's records align with the association's statutory obligations under this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For residents of a mobile home park who are members of a homeowners' association, 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.28 provides a framework that supports the association's ability to communicate formally with the park owner and to assert rights — including the right-to-purchase notice described in Section 6.25. If an association believes a park owner has failed to respond to a written request for ownership or legal description information as required by subsection (b), that failure may be relevant to the association's ability to exercise its statutory rights. Residents and association members can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Illinois mobile home park law to better understand how this provision interacts with other protections available under the statute.
