The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[t]he Virginia Fair Housing Law forbids a wide variety of discriminatory practices which impede the sale or rental of “dwellings” to an initial prospective purchaser or tenant. The antidiscrim-ination provisions contained in the Mobile Home Lot Rental Act, on the other hand, address a different situation: an existing tenant in a mobile home park, who wishes to sell to a third person the mobile home he owns and occupies, may not be unreasonably impeded by the landlord upon whose land the mobile home is intended to remain. The Virginia Fair Housing Law did not cover the situation, and the Mobile Home Lot Rental Act, in 1975, remedied the omission.”
