Hodgkins, IL asked in Landlord - Tenant for Illinois

Q: Is a MHC landlord allowed to tow (and keep threatening to do it again) my vehicle off park property because they do -->

Not want to incur the time and expense of legally evicting me through the court system for nonpayment of rent? I had been living with my boyfriend who passed away in April. His next-of-kin does not intend to pay rent and I'm trying to find a place to move. I do not have a lease with the park, but was added as a resident by my boyfriend when I moved in, car information and all. I am trying to cooperate with everyone and vacate the premises but don't yet have anywhere I can afford to go. I will need to use my vehicle to move my belongings off the property when I do. Where do I stand and what can I do? Can I file a restraining order against the park mgmt (including my vehicle) until they file a suit? Will it be enforceable? I cannot incur even MORE expense. HELP!
