Further, the court found that tenant “entered into possession of the demised premises without knowledge of the full extent of the deficiencies which were found later to exist. The only deficiencies she knew of were those which she was falsely assured would be corrected.” Landlords knew of the additional deficiencies, yet failed to inform tenant. It was reasonable for tenant to believe that there were no other deficiencies and that repairs promised would be made. We agree with tenant that the court’s findings establish a violation of 9 V.S.A. § 2461(b) as a matter of law. Moreover, because she prevailed on the consumer fraud claim, she is entitled to an award of attorney’s fees on this claim. Gramatan, 143 Vt. at 536, 470 A.2d at 1162.
