    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.
