Operative Text
Termination of Lease. If a tenant shall remain in possession of the premises after the expiration of his lease without having notified the park owner of his acceptance or rejection of a renewal of the lease and without the park owner's consent, the tenant shall pay to the park owner a sum, not to exceed twice the monthly rental under the previous lease, computed and pro-rated daily for each day he shall remain in possession.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 23, when a mobile home park tenant stays on the premises after their lease ends without telling the park owner whether they accept or reject a lease renewal, and without the owner's consent, the tenant becomes liable for a daily holdover charge. That charge is calculated on a pro-rated daily basis and cannot exceed the equivalent of twice the previous monthly rent. The provision sets a ceiling on what the park owner may collect for each day the unauthorized holdover continues.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 23, compliant park operators typically document the lease expiration date and maintain clear records of any communications—or lack thereof—from tenants regarding lease renewal. If a tenant remains without consent and without notifying the owner of their acceptance or rejection, operators generally calculate the daily holdover charge by dividing twice the prior monthly rent by the number of days in the month, applying that rate for each day of unauthorized possession. Keeping written records of the lease end date, any consent granted, and any renewal communications helps substantiate a claim under this provision.

Section 23 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 caps the amount a park owner can charge a holdover tenant at twice the prior monthly rent, prorated daily—meaning there is a statutory ceiling on what you can owe for each day you remain after lease expiration without notifying the owner or obtaining consent. If you believe a park owner is attempting to collect more than this statutory maximum, that cap may be raised as a defense in any legal proceeding brought to collect holdover charges. Tenant-rights organizations in Illinois can help you understand how this provision applies to your situation and what options may be available to you.
