Temporary Tenant. If a tenant suffers from an illness or disability that requires the tenant to temporarily leave the mobile home park, the park owner shall allow a relative or relatives, designated by the tenant or the tenant's legal guardian or representative, to live in the home for a period of up to 90 days as temporary occupants if the following conditions are met: (1) The tenant must provide documentation of the disability or illness by a licensed physician dated within the past 60 days;(2) The temporary occupant must meet all qualifications other than financial, including age in a community that provides housing for older persons, and the terms of the lease and park rules must continue to be met; as used in this item (2), "housing for older persons" has the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 3-106 of the Illinois Human Rights Act; and(3) At least 5 days before occupancy, the temporary occupant must submit an application for residency to the park owner by which the temporary occupant provides all information required to confirm that the temporary occupant meets community requirements.After the 90-day temporary occupancy period, the temporary occupant shall be required to provide documentation of ongoing financial ability to pay the costs relative to occupancy.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.3, when a mobile home park tenant must temporarily leave due to an illness or disability, the park owner is required to permit a designated relative to occupy the home for up to 90 days. Three conditions must be satisfied: the tenant supplies a physician's documentation dated within the past 60 days, the temporary occupant meets all non-financial community qualifications (including age requirements in older-persons communities), and the occupant submits a residency application at least five days before moving in. Once the 90-day period ends, the temporary occupant must demonstrate ongoing financial ability to cover occupancy costs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Park owners and managers operating under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.3 generally maintain a clear intake process for temporary-occupancy requests, including a checklist for the required physician documentation, a residency application form that can be submitted at least five days before occupancy begins, and a procedure for verifying that the temporary occupant meets all applicable community qualifications other than financial ones. For communities that qualify as housing for older persons under Section 3-106 of the Illinois Human Rights Act, age verification remains part of the standard review. After the 90-day window, operators typically collect documentation confirming the temporary occupant's financial ability to sustain occupancy costs before any extended arrangement is considered.

Section 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.3 gives mobile home park tenants who must leave temporarily due to illness or disability the right to have a designated relative stay in their home for up to 90 days, provided the required documentation and application steps are completed. If a park owner refuses to honor this right, a tenant or their legal guardian may raise the provision as a defense in any related proceeding or file a complaint with the appropriate Illinois housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois mobile home park law can help explain what documentation is needed and what options are available if the process is disputed.
