¶24. We note that, in 2000, the Legislature amended 9 V.S.A. § 4458(a). 1999, No. 115 (Adj. Sess.), § 6. The statute now provides that a tenant can pursue his habitability remedies if the landlord fails to remedy a habitability defect within a reasonable time “after receiving actual notice of the noncompliance from the tenant, a governmental entity or a qualified independent inspector.” 9 V.S.A. § 4458(a). With this amendment, the Legislature has now brought cases like plaintiffs’ within the ambit of the statute, thus supporting our view that the former § 4458(a) did not cover the entire range of habitability claims.
