¶ 26. Overall, the plain language indicates that the Legislature set up a balanced notice scheme based on the character of the leaseholder's violation. This is consistent with the purpose of § 6237 as articulated by this Court: "[ Section] 6237 provides owners and renters of mobile homes, who tend to be lower-income groups that may have difficulty finding alternative housing, added security from arbitrary eviction." State Agency of Dev. & Cmty. Affairs v. Bisson, 161 Vt. 8, 14, 632 A.2d 34, 38 (1993). The scheme described above is anything but arbitrary; it is a clear plan that provides equal weight to all of the competing interests, and the limited procedural protections for substantial violators of a lease reflect this balancing.
