Here, Tenants allege that Landlord violated Vermont Rental Housing Code by not
providing “a supply of water sufficient in quantity and pressure to meet the ordinary
needs of the occupant(s).” Vermont Health Regulations, Chapter 5, Environmental
Health Subchapter 16, Rental Housing Health Code, § III-D(1), available at
http://healthvermont.gov/regs/Rental_ Housing_Code.pdf. The Code applies to “all
rented dwellings.” Id. § I-C(1). The findings of fact show that Landlord has consistently
and repeatedly failed to provide a sufficient supply of water to Tenants residence. The
Court concludes that in addition to the damages for illegal eviction, Tenants are entitled
to damages of $5 per day for each of the 515 days that Tenants were without “a supply of
water sufficient in quantity and pressure,” thus bringing the total damages to $80 per day
for each of the 515 days. ORDER
