The circumstances in the instant case exemplify the difficulties encountered by a *857 mobile home park tenant when faced with eviction. Krzak testified that the eviction of Strashnick would necessitate removing the mobile home skirting required by the park, detaching his porch, garden shed, and carport, removing his mobile home from the park, and returning the lot to the condition it was before any home had been placed on it. In our opinion, limiting eviction to the circumstances enumerated in § 31-44-2(a) is consistent with the legislative intent of affording special protection to residents of mobile home parks, who often are low and moderate income citizens and the elderly.
