We need to fix rental laws that let freeloaders not pay from October til May because of non-eviction rules.

We need to stop Act 250 from overreaching into areas not included in the law. The Board has, according to it's statute, no authority in a town with sewers, water and a zoning plan. Now, every plan is subject to 250.

We need to allow in-law apartments to be rented to non-family members.

We need to deregulate housing

Deregulating does not equal a better housing market, you’re simply conflating bad regulation with good regulation.

Pure nonsense. If you can't find qualified renters, that's on you.

Can you point to those eviction rules? My mom also swears this is a thing but I see people evicted in all parts of VT throughout the winter. Maybe it's a utility shut off thing, not eviction?

Regulate it differently, maybe. Don’t forget that VT’s topography is a challenge. We need our local farms & forests, which keep us healthy, or we don’t have much to pass on to future generations.
