Tenants did not quit the premises on April 30, or May 8,1999, and landlords commenced an eviction action alleging tenants had violated the terms of the VSHA lease by disturbing other tenants. Tenants answered landlords’ eviction complaint by denying that they had breached the terms of the rental agreement and raising the affirmative defenses that: (1) pursuant to 9 V.S.A. § 4467(b), notice to terminate tenancy for breach of the rental agreement must be served on the tenant at least thirty days before the termination date specified in the notice; and (2) the attempted eviction was in retaliation for tenants’ actions in reporting health and safety code violations and other lawful activity by tenants to enforce landlords’ obligation to maintain premises in a safe and sanitary condition.
