| Vermont Apartment Owners Association Educates Landlords Since 1974
The Vermont Apartment Owners Association is a state-wide association representing the interests of residential and commercial landlords in Vermont since 1974. The Association's goal is to inform and educate Vermont landlords so that we continue to provide quality rental housing to all Vermonters.
Over the past 32 years, the Association has developed a reputation for vigorously promoting the interests of Vermont apartment owners, while maintaining a good working relationship with tenant advocates, state agencies and local officials. The Association is headed by Stuart Bennett. Mr. Bennett is a Shelburne lawyer and a landlord.
"The Association has become a clearing house for accurate, up-to-date, information that impacts apartment owners. This information covers a complete spectrum of rental property issues from practical repairs, to legal and regulatory compliance, to financing. When you put it all together it is a considerable resource." Bill Billado, Landlord
The Association monitors legislation in Montpelier and lobbies for apartment owner interests.
"We are delighted to be recognized as an honest, effective advocate for Vermont apartment owners. Credibility means a great deal in Montpelier. In the end, our message is that the interests of landlords and tenants are often not that different. At a minimum, the landlord expects the rent to be paid ,and the property to be treated with respect. Conversely, the tenants want to be treated with respect and to get fair value for their rent. It is fair to say the debate over landlord/tenant issues in Montpelier is rarely that concise. However, it is helpful to remember that landlords and tenants do have common interests." Stuart M. Bennett.
Vermont Apartment Owners Association has members throughout the state of Vermont. The Association holds seminars and meetings throughout the state to educate and inform Vermont apartment owners about current legal and regulatory developments. The meetings also cover discussions of local issues, and practical solutions to common problems.
