Sec. 12. Lease prohibitions. No lease hereafter executed or currently existing between a park owner and tenant in a mobile home park or manufactured home community in this State shall contain any provision:

(a)Permitting the park owner to charge a penalty fee for late payment of rent without

allowing a tenant a minimum of 5 days beyond the date the rent is due in which to remit such payment;

(b)Permitting the park owner to charge an amount in excess of one month's rent as a

security deposit;

(c)Requiring the tenant to pay any fees not specified in the lease;

(d)Permitting the park owner to transfer, or move, a mobile home to a different lot,

including a different lot in the same mobile home park or manufactured home community, during the term of the lease;

(e)Waiving the homeowner's right to a trial by jury.

If one provision of a lease is invalid, that does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the lease.
