Marie Harper, who is disabled, has rented an apartment in South Burlington from her landlord, Golden Key, LLC, on a month-to-month basis for three years. Landlord intends to use the land on which the apartment building is located, as well as adjacent property, to erect condominium units. The plans include demolishing the existing buildings to make way for the new construction. After receiving final approval from the planning commission to build the condominiums, landlord served tenant with a notice to vacate, followed by a summons and complaint for a no cause eviction. Landlord provided sixty days notice in accordance with 9 VS.A. § 4467, which applies to the termination of residential rental agreements. Tenant answered the complaint, raising the defense of failure to give one year written notice to vacate according to the Condominium Ownership Act. See 27 VS.A. § 1333. Both parties filed motions for summary judgment on the issue of the applicability of the Condominium Ownership Act, and the trial court granted judgment in favor of landlord.
