Plaintiffs are tenants of Defendant Frederick Franklin, who owns property in
Newark, Vermont. In addition to his own house, Mr. Franklin owns two other houses on
his property that he rents out. In June of 2010, Wayne Goodwin and his mother Pamela
Norrie rented one of Mr. Franklin’s houses on a 10-acre parcel. They had been looking
for a place to live in a rural area where they could have animals, and responded to an ad
placed by Mr. Franklin that they found attractive. The house consists of two stories and
is 20’ by 30’. The water for the rental house comes from a well via Mr. Franklin’s own
house. There is a pump in Mr. Franklin’s house, and the water goes from there to the
rental house, where there is another pump.
