anchored and tied down in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(2) In the event that a mobile home is insured against damage caused by
windstorm and subsequently sustains windstorm damage of a nature that indicates that the mobile home was not anchored or tied down in the manner required by this section, the person issuing the policy shall not be relieved from
meeting the obligations specified in the insurance policy with respect to such
damage on the basis that the mobile home was not properly anchored or tied
down.
4. Whenever a person who engages in the business of installing anchors,
tiedowns, or over-the-roof ties or who engages in the business of manufacturing
such devices for use in this state does so in a manner not in accordance with the
minimum standards set forth by the commission, a person aggrieved thereby
may bring an action in the appropriate court for actual damages and attorney's
fees. In addition, the court may provide appropriate equitable relief including
the enjoining of a violator from engaging in further violations. Whenever it is

of the provisions of section 407.020, RSMo.
