The Residential Rental Agreements Act does not deal with the same subject matter as the Consumer Fraud Act. Tenant’s claim under the Residential Rental Agreements Act is for breach of a warranty based on landlords’ failure to keep the premises safe and clean. See 9 V.S.A. §§ 4457 & 4458. Her claim under the Consumer Fraud Act is for unfair or deceptive acts in commerce. See 9 V.S.A. § 2453. These are separate and distinct claims. There is no indication that by enacting the Residential Rental Agreements Act, the Legislature intended to deny tenants the additional protections provided by the Consumer Fraud Act.
