Failure on the part of a mobile home park owner to give notice as required by this chapter renders a sale of the mobile home park that occurs within thirty days of the time the qualified tenant organization knows or has reason to know that a violation of the notice provisions of RCW 59.23.015 has occurred, voidable upon application to superior court after notice and hearing. If the court determines that the notice provisions of this chapter have been violated, the court shall issue an order setting aside the improper sale. In an action brought under this section, the court shall award the prevailing party attorneys' fees and costs. For the purposes of this section, a "prevailing party" includes any third party purchaser who appears and successfully defends his or her interest.
