Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.6, when a mobile home park owner becomes involved in a bankruptcy case or a foreclosure proceeding is initiated against the park property, tenants must be formally notified in writing within 30 days. The notice obligation falls on the park owner for bankruptcy and foreclosure events, and separately on any court-appointed receiver who must notify tenants of their appointment. Delivery of the required notice can occur in person, by leaving it with a resident aged 13 or older at the premises, or by first-class mail addressed to the known occupant.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Park owners and operators subject to 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.6 are generally expected to maintain systems that track when legal process related to bankruptcy or foreclosure is served upon them, so that the 30-day written-notice clock can be met. Compliant operators typically document the method of service used — personal delivery, leaving notice with a qualifying resident, or first-class mail — and retain records confirming timely delivery to each known occupant. When a voluntary bankruptcy petition is filed by the park owner, the 30-day period runs from the filing date itself, making prompt internal notification procedures especially important.

Residents of Illinois mobile home parks have a right under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 6.6 to receive written notice if their park owner enters bankruptcy or if a foreclosure proceeding is initiated against the park property. If a receiver is appointed by a court, that receiver also carries an independent obligation to notify all park tenants of the appointment. Tenants who believe they did not receive required notice may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Illinois manufactured-housing law to understand what options may be available to them.
