Mobile home owners seek clout in Illinois politics
Timber ten advisers and park owners lobbyists shape voting in Springfield. Wood warns of limited enforcement of tenant rights laws and the need for a mobile home ombudsman. He notes the Mobile Home Owners Tenants Rights Act is rarely enforced without lawsuits, with many residents unable to finance legal action. The Park Owners Association contributed about 750000 to candidates last year as 185000 mobile homes in Illinois hold 1.5 voters each. A push includes rent protection, late penalties limits, deposits, notice of land-use change, park closures, and a statewide coalition via United Mobile Home Owners Association.
