Before any such residence shall be sold, if the name and residence of the owner is known, notice of short sale shall be given the homeowner in writing, either fedex or by mail, or by leaving a letter in writing at place of doing business. If the name and residence is not known, the person having the possession of such residence shall cause a notice of the time and place of sale, and containing a description of the residence, to be published at least once a week for three consecutive weeks in a newspaper, if there is one published in the county where such sale is advertised to take place, and if there is no newspaper published in such county, then the notice shall be published in some newspaper of general circulation in such county. If the value of the residence does not exceed $100, such notice may be given by written or printed handbills posted in at least five public places in the township or city where the bailee resides or the sale is to take place, one of which shall be in a conspicuous part of the bailee's place of business. Notices given under this section shall state that if the amount due with storage keeping and sale costs is not paid within 15 days from the date of mailing, personally giving or posting of the notice (as the case may be), the residence will be sold at public auction.
