Vermont law specifies three types of illegal evictions, one of which is that “[n]o
landlord may willfully cause, directly or indirectly, the interruption or termination of any
utility service being supplied to the tenant, except for temporary interruptions for
emergency repairs.” 9 V.S.A. § 4463(a). “Any tenant who sustains damage or injury as
a result of an illegal eviction may bring an action for injunctive relief, damages, costs and
reasonable attorney’s fees.” Id. § 4464(a).
