| 1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 6285
| ||||||
| 2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 6285 by replacing | ||||||
| 3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
| 4 | "Section 5. The Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act | ||||||
| 5 | is amended by changing Section 22 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (765 ILCS 745/22) (from Ch. 80, par. 222)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 22. Remedies, Park Owner. A park owner may, any time | ||||||
| 8 | rent is overdue,
notify the tenant in writing that unless | ||||||
| 9 | payment is made within the time
specified in the notice, not | ||||||
| 10 | less than 5 days after receipt thereof, the
lease will be | ||||||
| 11 | terminated. If the tenant remains in default, the park
owner | ||||||
| 12 | may institute legal action for recovery of possession, rent due | ||||||
| 13 | and any damages.
| ||||||
| 14 | If the tenant breaches any provision of the lease or rules | ||||||
| 15 | and regulations
of the mobile home park, the park owner shall | ||||||
| 16 | notify the tenant in writing
of his breach. Such notice shall | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | specify the violation and advise the tenant
that if the | ||||||
| 2 | violation shall continue for more than 24 hours after receipt
| ||||||
| 3 | of such notice the park owner may terminate the lease. | ||||||
| 4 | If the tenant breaches any provision of the lease or rules | ||||||
| 5 | and regulations of the mobile home park, the park owner shall | ||||||
| 6 | give the tenant written notice specifying in writing the reason | ||||||
| 7 | for any fine that may be imposed on the tenant. As used in this | ||||||
| 8 | Section, "fine" does not include fees that are imposed on a | ||||||
| 9 | tenant for services or products provided by the park owner to | ||||||
| 10 | the tenant. If a fine is imposed on a tenant, the following | ||||||
| 11 | applies for 45 days after written notice of the fine is | ||||||
| 12 | delivered to the tenant: | ||||||
| 13 | (1) non-payment of a fine shall not be grounds for | ||||||
| 14 | refusal to accept a rent payment; and | ||||||
| 15 | (2) the fine shall not be deducted from a rent payment. | ||||||
| 16 | Acceptance of a rent payment shall not be construed as a | ||||||
| 17 | waiver of an unpaid fine.
| ||||||
