Notwithstanding defendants' arguments to the contrary, none of the other provisions of the statute, read alone or in conjunction with one another, suggest that § 6237 applies only to mobile home owners.[4] We find little significance *37 in the fact that § 6237 uses the term "mobile home resident" rather than "mobile home park resident," or that certain sections of the statute refer to the lease of mobile home lots. See 10 V.S.A. §§ 6236, 6238, 6242. Indeed, the selective use of the terms "mobile home resident" and "mobile home owner," and the terms "mobile home" and "mobile home lot," suggests that the Legislature intended to distinguish the terms. See Trombley v. Bellows Falls Union High School Dist. No. 27, ___ Vt. ___, ___, 624 A.2d 857, 860 (1993) (we presume language is inserted in statute advisedly); State v. Tierney, 138 Vt. 163, 165, 412 A.2d 298, 299 (1980) (in construing statutes, give effect to every word, clause and sentence if possible).
