Mobiles sell all the time in Alberta. There is a market for them and it's not unreasonable to think that these tenants deserve market values.

But what about ones on acreages and farms? I know a young couple who bought a quarter section, got a (nice) mobile home and plopped it down there. That would have not have even shown up on your search, and I don't think it's exceedingly rare, unless I'm missing something about why these homes would not be able to do so like the "manufactured" homes that you see on a lot of acreages.
Besides, with 80% already having moved or indicating they plan to move, it wouldn't need to be hundreds. It needs to be dozens.
