IL HB4248

Amends the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act to require purchasers of mobile homes to obtain a written and signed lease from the park owner prior to closing, unless the purchaser elects to remove the mobile home from the park.

Park owners remain prohibited from interfering with mobile home owners' freedom to sell to a purchaser of their choice, subject to general park qualifications and lawful restrictions.

Park owners cannot impose fees, charges, or commissions on mobile home sales except when the owner requests the park owner's assistance in securing a purchaser, in which case commission is limited to a percentage of the actual sales price set forth in writing.

Park owners cannot require removal of mobile homes upon sale to qualified purchasers unless the mobile home is less than 12 feet wide or significantly deteriorated and in substantial disrepair, with the park owner bearing the burden of proof and required to provide written notice to the tenant before sale.

The Act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
