Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 14-1, the Illinois Department of Public Health is required to produce and distribute a pamphlet explaining the rights and obligations of both tenants and mobile home park operators under the Illinois Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act. Park owners must make this pamphlet available to existing tenants within 60 days of receiving it, and must offer it to new tenants at or before the time a written lease is presented. Importantly, a failure to comply with this pamphlet requirement does not void any lease or serve as a defense in lease enforcement or breach-of-lease proceedings.

Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 14-1, compliant park operators distribute or mail the Illinois Department of Public Health's rights-and-obligations pamphlet to all current tenants within 60 days of receiving it from the state. For incoming residents, operators generally have the pamphlet ready to offer at or before the moment a written lease is presented. Keeping records of distribution—such as mailing receipts or signed acknowledgments—is a common practice among operators who want to demonstrate compliance with this section.

Section 14-1 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 entitles you, as a mobile home park tenant, to receive an informational pamphlet from the Illinois Department of Public Health that outlines both your rights and your park operator's obligations under the Act. New tenants should be offered this pamphlet no later than when a written lease is presented, while existing tenants were to receive it within 60 days of the park owner obtaining copies. It is worth noting that a park owner's failure to provide the pamphlet does not, on its own, void a lease or serve as a legal defense in lease-related proceedings—tenants who have questions about their broader rights under the Act may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Illinois mobile home park law.
