A “mobile home park resident” is defined as “an individual, individuals, or family who occupies a mobile home on a permanent or temporary basis in a mobile home park.” 10 V.S.A. § 6201(6) (emphasis added). The use of the word “resident,” and the use of the words “occupies” and “temporary” to define resident, make it clear that § 6237 applies to renters, as well as to owners, of mobile homes. See Black’s Law Dictionary 1079 (6th ed. 1990) (defining “occupy” as, among other things, “to hold possession of” and “to tenant”); In re Vermont Nat’l Bank, 157 Vt. 306, 312, 597 A.2d 317, 320 (1991) (words not defined in statute are to be given their plain and ordinary meaning, which can be taken from a dictionary).
