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 adding Section 6.2 as follows:
|
(765 ILCS 745/6.2 new) |
Sec. 6.2. Utility services. |
(a) A park owner is prohibited from requiring a tenant to |
pay for utility services, such as water, sewer, and trash used |
in common areas in which a public utility company is charging |
for those services. If the public utility usage for common |
areas is not separately measured by equipment such as a water |
meter, the park owner may not charge the tenants for more than |
80% of the public utility services for which the park owner was |
billed. |
(b) On an annual basis, a park owner must provide tenants |
with a written explanation of how a tenant's share of the |
utility charge was calculated, and upon request from a tenant, |
must provide a copy of the park's monthly utility bills to |
tenants for any utility charge separately billed under this |
Section. |
