Illinois Statutes Chapter 35. Revenue § 516/350. Waste; appointment of receiver

§ 350. Waste; appointment of receiver. After any sale of mobile homes under this Act and until a tax certificate of title has been issued or until redemption has been made, no waste shall be committed on any of the mobile homes involved. The court which ordered the mobile home to be sold may, upon verified petition of the holder of the certificate of purchase, take such action as the court deems necessary and desirable to prevent the commission of waste.

If the mobile home sold is abandoned or if any mobile home park owner, municipality or other local governmental body has legal action pending because the mobile home violates local building, housing, or fire ordinances, or mobile home park rules and regulations, or because the taxes on the mobile home are delinquent for 2 or more years, the court which ordered the mobile home to be sold may, upon verified petition of the holder of the certificate of purchase, enter an order for appointment of a receiver. Notice of the hearing for appointment of the receiver shall be given to the owner or owners of the mobile home and to the person in whose name the taxes were last assessed, by certified or registered mail sent to their last known addresses, at least 5 days prior to the date of the hearing.

The receiver may take only that action, subject to court approval, as is necessary for the preservation of the mobile home or is necessary to correct conditions at the mobile home that fail to conform to minimum standards of health and safety, as set forth in local ordinances or mobile home park rules and regulations. If a receiver is appointed, all costs and expenses advanced by the receiver shall be repaid as provided for in Section 300 before any redemption is considered complete. The receiver shall be discharged upon redemption from the tax sale or upon entry of an order directing issuance of a tax certificate of title. Nothing herein contained is intended to prevent a court from appointing the holder of the certificate of purchase as receiver. The holder of the certificate of purchase shall be made a party to any action or proceeding to demolish or destroy a mobile home where the mobile home has been sold for failure to pay taxes and the period of redemption has not expired.
