Introduced Text

SB0196 amends the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act to protect tenants' First Amendment rights and limit certain landlord actions.

SB0196 amends the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act to ensure landlords cannot impair tenants' First Amendment rights, including political advertising. It prohibits landlords from imposing rules that restrict these rights. Additionally, the bill limits penalties for late rent payments, security deposits, and unauthorized fees. It also prevents landlords from moving tenants' mobile homes without consent and ensures tenants' right to a trial by jury is not waived. These provisions apply to all leases in mobile home parks and manufactured home communities in Illinois.
