¶ 16. In 1986, partly in response to Hilder, the Legislature enacted the Residential Rental Agreements Act (RRAA), 1985, No. 175 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, in which it expressed its desire to protect the state’s tenant *307population from unscrupulous and recalcitrant landlords, while striking a fair balance between the rights of landlords and tenants. See Hearing on H.339 Before House Judiciary Comm. 40-43, 1985 Bien. Sess. (Vt. Aug. 21, 1985) (discussing Hilder in the context of then-pending warranty-of-habitability legislation); see also Vt. Tenants, Inc. v. Vt. Hous. Fin. Agency, 170 Vt. 77, 86, 742 A.2d 745, 751 (1999) (recognizing that RRAA has both tenant-protection and landlord-protection provisions).
