Based on the evidence and testimony, the Court finds the following. The Fourniers own a parcel of
land located at 417 Lawson Ridge in Coventry, Vermont. The land extends several acres and has
additional frontage on Alderbrook Road. In 2011, the Fourniers entered into an oral agreement with
Mr. Wood to lease a portion of the Fourniers’ land along the Alderbrook Road frontage. In exchange,
Mr. Wood agreed to pay the Fourniers $200 per month, As a further part of the agreement, the
Fourniers agreed to allow Mr. Wood to bring his mobile home to the site and connect to the sewage
and water on the property. These terms are undisputed by the parties. Ms. Fournier also testified that
she had added the following conditions to the parties’ agreement: (1) she did not “want to chase him
for money”; (2) no outdoor fires; (3) no cars squealing; and (4) no driving ATVs or bikes along the
powerline right of way as she did not want people to think that the right of way was open to the public.
