HB 1142 Illinois House · 96th Regular Session

MODULAR HOUSING BUYER PROTECT

Summary
Creates the Manufactured Housing Buyer Protection Act. Provides that, if, after a reasonable number of attempts, the seller of a manufactured housing unit is unable to conform the manufactured housing unit to any of its applicable express warranties, then the manufacturer must either provide the consumer with a new manufactured housing unit of like model line, if available, or otherwise a comparable manufactured housing unit as a replacement, or accept the return of the manufactured housing unit from the consumer and refund to the consumer the full purchase price or lease cost of the new manufactured housing unit, including all collateral charges, less a reasonable allowance for consumer use of the manufactured housing unit, but only when the consumer has first resorted to an informal settlement procedure applicable to such disputes. Provides that persons electing to proceed and settle under the Act are barred from a separate cause of action under the Uniform Commercial Code. Provides guidelines for commencement of such actions. Requires the seller who sells a new manufactured housing unit to a consumer, upon delivery of that manufactured housing unit to the consumer, to provide the consumer with a written statement clearly and conspicuously setting forth in full detail the consumer's rights under specified provisions of the Act. Makes the Act applicable to manufactured housing sold after the effective date of this Act.
