Operative Text
Waiver of Provisions. Any provision of a lease whereby any provisions of this Act are waived is declared void.
Section 10 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 establishes that any clause in a lease agreement that attempts to waive or surrender rights or protections granted by the Illinois Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act is legally void and unenforceable. The rule prevents either party from contractually opting out of the Act's requirements, regardless of whether the waiver was mutual or voluntary. The protections the Act provides remain in effect even if a lease document purports to eliminate them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 10, operators of mobile home parks in Illinois cannot draft lease provisions that disclaim or waive any obligation imposed by the Act. Compliant operators review their lease templates to ensure no clause attempts to strip tenants of statutory rights, as such clauses will be treated as void by courts or enforcement bodies. Maintaining leases that align with the Act's full requirements—rather than attempting to contract around them—reflects standard compliant practice.

Section 10 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 means that even if a lease you signed contains language purporting to waive your rights under the Illinois Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act, that language has no legal effect. Tenants can raise the invalidity of such a waiver clause as a defense if a landlord attempts to enforce it. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois mobile home law can help explain which specific protections the Act provides and how a void waiver clause may affect a given situation.
