Applicability. This Act shall regulate and determine legal rights, remedies and obligations of the parties to any lease of a mobile home or mobile home lot in a mobile home park containing five or more mobile homes within this State. Any lease, written or oral, shall be unenforceable insofar as any provision thereof conflicts with any provision of this Act.
Section 1 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 establishes the scope of Illinois's Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act. The law applies to leases—whether written or oral—covering mobile homes or mobile home lots located in parks with five or more homes in Illinois. Any lease term that conflicts with the Act's requirements is rendered unenforceable, meaning the Act's protections take precedence over contrary lease language.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 1, operators of mobile home parks with five or more homes in Illinois are subject to this Act regardless of whether their leases are written or oral. Compliant park operators generally review their lease agreements to ensure no provision contradicts the Act's requirements, since conflicting terms will not be upheld. Staying current with the Act's standards helps operators avoid situations where key lease provisions are deemed void.

765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 1 establishes that residents of qualifying Illinois mobile home parks—those with five or more homes—are protected by this Act whether their lease is written or oral. If a lease term conflicts with the Act, that term is unenforceable, which means tenants may be able to raise such a conflict as a defense in a dispute. Tenants who believe a lease provision violates the Act can consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to better understand their options.
