SB 32

Abstract

Amends the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act. Provides that a unit of local government, as defined in the Illinois Constitution, other than a municipality having a population of 1,000,000 or more inhabitants, may enact and enforce an ordinance that restricts the ability of a mobile home park owner to increase rent, fees, or other charges if the park owner fails to correct health or life safety violations. Provides that a park owner who increases rent, fees, or other charges imposed upon a tenant in violation of an ordinance enacted under the new provisions shall be liable to that tenant for all damages and attorney's fees reasonably incurred as a result of the park owner's violation.
