Five months after the Goodwins (“Tenants”) moved in, in November of 2010,
they started to lose water. They complained to Mr. Franklin (“Landlord”). From then on,
over the last two years from time to time, they have periodically and continuously either
had no water at all, or had low water pressure in the house. The length of water outages
varies. They routinely notify Landlord, and the water often comes on again, only to go
off again on another day. During 2011 and 2012, a Vermont State Trooper was called to
the property on many occasions, and at least six times, he advised Landlord that he was
not entitled to shut off the Tenants’ water due to nonpayment of rent. Apparently
Landlord believed that the Tenants were not paying their rent. Rent receipts show
payments of rent through January of 2012, although the evidence did not include details
of whether all rent due was paid in full.
