| 1 | | The park owner shall not charge a transfer or selling fee |
| 2 | | as a condition of sale of a mobile home that is going to remain |
| 3 | | within the park unless a service is rendered. |
| 4 | | Rents charged to a tenant by a park owner may be increased |
| 5 | | upon the renewal of a lease. Notification of an increase shall |
| 6 | | be delivered 90 days prior to expiration of the lease. Subject |
| 7 | | to the provisions of paragraph (e) of Section 6 of this Act, a |
| 8 | | park owner may not increase rent for a site or a lot more than |
| 9 | | 3% per year plus a consumer price index-u increase of not more |
| 10 | | than 5% per year for a maximum total of not more than 8% per |
| 11 | | year. The 3% cap may be adjusted annually, beginning in 2027, |
| 12 | | to reflect a percentage equal to the percentage change in the |
| 13 | | consumer price index-u during the preceding 12-month calendar |
| 14 | | year. As used in this Section "consumer price index-u" means |
| 15 | | the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the |
| 16 | | United States Department of Labor that measures the average |
| 17 | | change in prices of goods and services purchased by all urban |
| 18 | | consumers, United States city average, all items, 1982-84 = |

| 21 | | mobile home parks for a period of 15 years after the effective |
| 22 | | date of this Act; and (2) expenses approved as justified by the |
| 23 | | Housing Appeals Board to include, but be limited to, property |
| 24 | | tax increases, major capital improvements, and utility costs. |
| 25 | | The park owner shall not charge or impose upon a tenant any |
| 26 | | fee or increase in rent which reflects the cost to the park |

| 2 | | assessed or awarded by a court of law against the park owner, |
| 3 | | including any attorney's fees and costs incurred by the park |
| 4 | | owner in connection therewith unless the fine, forfeiture, |
| 5 | | penalty, money damages, or fee was incurred as a result of the |
| 6 | | tenant's actions. |
| 7 | | The park owner shall not charge or impose a pet fee upon a |
| 8 | | resident that owns the home, unless a service related to the |
| 9 | | pet is offered by the park owner and accepted by the resident. |
| 10 | | A tenant of a home owned by the park owner may be subject to |
| 11 | | the imposition of a pet fee as agreed to in the lease. |
