[mono-android] JsonObject.ToString() not escaping new lines.

[Matthew Leibowitz]

Although this won't solve your problem, string + string is a bad practice.
It is better to use a StringBuilder:

var sb = new StringBuilder();

sb.AppendLine(Name);
sb.AppendLine(Unit);
sb.AppendLine(AddressLine1);
sb.AppendLine(AddressLine2);
sb.AppendLine(AddressLine3);
sb.AppendLine(AddressLine4);
sb.AppendLine(City);
sb.AppendLine(State);
sb.AppendLine(PostCode);
sb.AppendLine(Country);

return sb.ToString();
