property of a guest in the same manner, for the same purposes, and
subject to the same restrictions as an innkeeper's lien or a hotel keeper's

(2) the lienholder has notified the owner, operator, or caretaker of
the mobile home community of the lienholder's lien by certified
mail;
the maximum amount of the innkeeper's lien may not exceed the actual
late rent owed for not more than a maximum of sixty (60) days
immediately preceding notification by certified mail to the lienholder
that the owner of the property has vacated the property or is delinquent
in the owner's rent.
(c) If the notification to the lienholder under subsection (b) informs
the lienholder that the lienholder will be responsible to the owner,

rent from the time the notice is received until the mobile home,
manufactured home, or industrialized residential structure is removed
from the mobile home community, the lienholder is liable for the
payment of rent that accrues after the notification.
