(4) In addition to all other remedies available pursuant to section 38-12-220 and other state law, if the seller of a mobile home has failed to properly repair or maintain the mobile home as required by section 38-12-1403 at the time the purchaser of a mobile home makes the final payment under the rent-to-own contract, the purchaser may exercise the purchaser's right of private action pursuant to section 38-12-220. If the purchaser prevails, in addition to damages available pursuant to section 38-12-220, a court may award treble damages if the court determines that the seller's failure to repair or maintain the mobile home was negligent or willful.
