Tenant points out that the entire subsection of the Condominium Act dealing with the protection of tenants in the conversion of rental units is made applicable to “the conversion of all residential rental property in the state” by 27 VS.A. § 1332, and that “property” is defined earlier in the chapter as including the land and the buildings thereon. See 27 VS.A. § 1302. Because the land in this case is being converted from rental use to condominium use, the tenant argues, the longer notice period set out in § 1333 should apply. Tenant’s argument is not persuasive, however, because the specific sections which pertain to notice of eviction refer to the “building,” not the “property.” See Stevenson v. Capital Fire Mut. Aid Sys., Inc., 163 Vt. 623, 625, 661 A.2d 86, 88 (1995) (more specific statutory provision prevails according to its terms over more general statutory provision). Because the building in this case is not being converted into condominiums, the extended notice provisions of § 1333 do not apply.
