Given that Mr. Wood brought his own dwelling place to the site, the subject of the parties’
lease solely concerns the renting of land with limited septic and water services. Under the plain
language of the statute, the parties’ agreement was not a “rental agreement” as that term is defined in
the Vermont Residential Rental Act. The Fourniers are also not “landlords,” and Mr. Wood is not a
“tenant” as those terms are used and defined under the Vermont Residential Rental Act. Therefore, the
provisions of the Vermont Residential Rental Act are not applicable to the parties or to their lease, and
neither the Fourniers, nor Mr. Wood are bound to the specific statutory terms and obligations of the
Act, including but not limited to the requirements of notice and termination under 9 V.S.A. § 4467. 9
V.S.A. § 4453. While the Fourniers appear to have complied with these provisions, the parties’
agreement and compliance cannot be analyzed or enforced under this Act as it does not apply.
