Dear Mr. Bennett,
"Up until the time I joined the Vermont Apartment
Owners Association I did not feel that I was on an
even footing. With the education and the benefits
I have gotten from joining the Association I now feel
confident.
As apartment owners we need a voice in state government,
and in the rule-making process. With the efforts of
the Association lobbyists, along with others in the
Association, I am sure that our concerns are heard.
This alone is worth my annual dues."
Very truly yours,
Herb Heath
Barre, Vermont
The Vermont Apartment Owners Association has been fighting the Vermont
bias against landlords since 1974. We employ a full-time lobbyist.
We keep you up to date on pending legislation, and provide you with
notice of public hearings.
We tell you of how your legislators voted so they are accountable
to you.
As a result of our lobbying efforts we have:
Established court rent escrow procedures
Fought Rent Control proposals
Introduced and help pass legislation to speed up the eviction
process
Fought for more balance in the lead paint hazard laws
Proposed legislation to make it a crime to destroy a landlord's
property
Fought proposals to limit security deposits
Fought legislation which would create a perpetual tenancy
Helped pass a Farm Employee eviction bill
