156 Vt. 325, 332, 592 A.2d 871, 875 (1991). Here, plaintiffs’ evidence included testimony regarding a 1990 Department of Labor and Industry inspection report which ordered landlord to make repairs due to significant electrical and fire code violations at the property; a 1994 Department of Labor and Industry report informing landlord that the house was not to be occupied until further inspection; landlord’s notice in the paper advertising the rental property in the summer of 1995, despite the fact that there was no evidence of any work done on the property or of further inspection; a 1996 inspection done by the Department, only two months after plaintiffs moved into the property, which revealed severe, long-standing structural and electrical deficiencies requiring the property to be vacated by plaintiffs and closed.
