 | 
|     (765 ILCS 745/6.2 new) | 
|     Sec. 6.2. Utility services. | 
|     (a) A park owner is prohibited from requiring a tenant to  | 
| pay for utility services, such as water, sewer, and trash used  | 
| in common areas in which a public utility company is charging  | 
| for those services. If the public utility usage for common  | 
| areas is not separately measured by equipment such as a water  | 
| meter, the park owner may not charge the tenants for more than  | 
| 80% of the public utility services for which the park owner was  | 
| billed. | 
|     (b) On an annual basis, a park owner must provide tenants  | 
| with a written explanation of how a tenant's share of the  | 
| utility charge was calculated, and upon request from a tenant,  | 
| must provide a copy of the park's monthly utility bills to  | 
| tenants for any utility charge separately billed under this  | 
| Section. |
