Corporation as set forth in subsection (1), a
17 mobile home
owner may abandon the mobile home in the mobile home
18 park and collect
$1,375 for a single section and $2,750 for a
19 multisection
from the corporation as long as the mobile home
20 owner delivers
to the park owner the current title to the mobile
21 home duly endorsed
by the owner of record and valid releases of
22 all liens shown
on the title. If a mobile home owner chooses
23 this

payment to the corporation in the amount provided

owner under this subsection section.
However, in the
31 event that
the required documents are not submitted with the

the corporation may consider the facts and
33 circumstances
surrounding the abandonment of the home to
34 determine whether
the mobile home owner is entitled to payment
35 pursuant to
this section.
