AN ACT concerning civil law.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act |
is amended by changing Section 22 as follows:
|
(765 ILCS 745/22) (from Ch. 80, par. 222)
|
Sec. 22. Remedies, Park Owner. A park owner may, any time |
rent is overdue,
notify the tenant in writing that unless |
payment is made within the time
specified in the notice, not |
less than 5 days after receipt thereof, the
lease will be |
terminated. If the tenant remains in default, the park
owner |
may institute legal action for recovery of possession, rent due |
and any damages.
|
If the tenant breaches any provision of the lease or rules |
and regulations
of the mobile home park, the park owner shall |
notify the tenant in writing
of his breach. Such notice shall |
specify the violation and advise the tenant
that if the |
violation shall continue for more than 24 hours after receipt
|
of such notice the park owner may terminate the lease. |
If the tenant breaches any provision of the lease or rules |
and regulations of the mobile home park, the park owner shall |
give the tenant written notice specifying in writing the reason |
for any fine that may be imposed on the tenant. As used in this |
|
Section, "fine" does not include fees that are imposed on a |
tenant for services or products provided by the park owner to |
the tenant. If a fine is imposed on a tenant, the following |
applies for 45 days after written notice of the fine is |
delivered to the tenant: |
(1) non-payment of a fine shall not be grounds for |
refusal to accept a rent payment; and |
(2) the fine shall not be deducted from a rent payment. |
Acceptance of a rent payment shall not be construed as a |
waiver of an unpaid fine.
