Illinois mobile home rent cap died with 26 sponsors after clearing committee
2026-09-10 · Illinois · Legislation · Did not pass
What happened. HB 3526, the Mobile Home Tenant Protection Act, was the most-sponsored association-adjacent bill of the Illinois biennium and it did not pass. Chief sponsor Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid was joined by 25 Democratic co-sponsors, including Reps. Carol Ammons, Kelly Cassidy and Mary Beth Canty.1
Its record:
- February 7, 2025 — filed
- April 7, 2025 — House Amendment 1
- March 23, 2026 — Amendment 2; April 8, 2026 — Amendment 3
- April 17, 2026 — out of committee
- April 21, 2026 — Rep. Canty added as co-sponsor
- June 1, 2026 — dead at adjournment
The formula
The bill amended the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act, 765 ILCS 745, to bar a park owner from increasing rent more than 3% per year. Beginning in 2027, an owner could adjust rent annually by the change in CPI-U over the preceding 12 calendar months — but the adjusted cap could not exceed 5%.
It also required 90 days' notice of any rent increase, and prohibited transfer or selling fees unless services are actually provided. A companion measure, HB 2727, carried the same 3% cap.
