Illinois Mobile Home Park Closure Notice and Interim Tenancy
ILLINOIS MOBILE HOME PARK CLOSURE NOTICE AND INTERIM TENANCY
Before you use this: This form applies to a park covered by 765 ILCS 745, which governs leases of homes or lots in a park with five or more mobile homes. Give each affected tenant at least 12 months' notice of a decision to cease operations. Check the tenant's existing lease: a tenant with less than 12 months left is entitled to the remaining lease term plus a written month-to-month tenancy at the expiring lease rent for the balance of the notice period.

Landlord-tenant paperwork governs who can stay in a property, on what terms, and what happens when something goes wrong. Leases, notices to quit, security deposit demands, and habitability complaints all have state and often city-specific requirements for timing, content, and service. Getting the paperwork right is what makes an eviction actually succeed or a security deposit actually come back, because judges regularly dismiss cases over small procedural mistakes.
