a non-discretionary act. The statute states that “[i]f a tenant fails to pay rent into court in the amount and
on the dates ordered by the court, the landlord shall be entitled to judgment for immediate possession of
the premises.” 12 V.S.A. § 4853a(h) (emphasis added). In this case, there is no dispute that Ms. Baldwin
has not paid any money into Court either before or after the deadlines set by the Court. Instead, the
central question that Ms. Baldwin raises is whether there is any basis to reconsider the Rent Escrow
Order or otherwise stay its effect.
 On March 12, 2026, Ms. Baldwin filed the present motion, which seeks to reconsider the
Rent Escrow Order and to stay any payments. Ms. Baldwin’s arguments are effectively four: (1)
she blames Tender Loving Homecare, LLC and Ms. Haldane for the loss of Ms. Baldwin’s
housing voucher; (2) she wishes to put forward additional evidence about habitability; (3) she
argues that the Tender Loving Homecare, LLC as landlord and Haldane as owner of the property
issue should be fatal to the action; and (4) she claims that Tender Loving Homecare, LLC is
holding a security deposit of $6,000 that should be applied to her rent escrow.
