Accordingly, we conclude that the 1988 amendments to the Mobile Home Parks Act and the Landlord and Tenant Act do not render § 6237 inapplicable to renters of mobile homes. The amendment to § 4452(6) of the Landlord and Tenant Act simply assures that the provisions in the Landlord and Tenant Act are applicable to renters of mobile homes; it does not directly address the applicability of the Mobile Home Parks Act to mobile home renters. Furthermore, the Legislature left intact the use of the term “mobile home resident” in § 6237 and the broad definition of that term in § 6201(6). The defendants are in effect asking us to apply § 6204(c) as if the operative word is “inconsistent” rather than “consistent,” the word actually contained in the statute. We would do great violence to the Legislature’s direction by interpreting the key word in the Mobile Home Parks Act statute as its opposite.
