The trial court relied upon the Landlord and Tenant Act amendment to determine that § 6237 of the Mobile Home Parks Act does not apply to renters of mobile homes. However, the court erred in not considering the relationship between the two acts, which are in many ways complementary legislation. The Landlord and Tenant Act contains the general law of landlord and tenant relations that is customarily applicable in any context. The Mobile Home Parks Act contains specific requirements applicable only to landlord and tenant relationships within a mobile home park. Except in the case of a direct incon*13sistency, these acts can coexist so that the requirements of both can be applicable to the rental of a mobile home. Cf. Bisson v. Ward, 160 Vt. 343,350, 628 A.2d 1256,1260-61 (1993) (Landlord and Tenant Act does not conflict with Consumer Fraud Act).
