In spring 2016, the Eliasons contacted the City of Burlington’s Code Enforcement Office
regarding the condition of the premises, which included complaints of mice (the extent of which
is disputed) and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (the origin of which is disputed).
Burlington Code Enforcement then inspected the property on May 26, 2016. As a result of issues
then identified, the Code Enforcement Office posted the house as unfit for human habitation. The
Eliasons were unable to sleep at the house while these issues persisted. They began moving out
their belongings at this time and they fully vacated the premises on May 31, 2016. On June 14,
2016, the Eliasons’ counsel informed the Harrisons that they had moved out. The habitation post
came down on June 17, 2016. On June 27, 2016, the Harrisons informed the Eliasons by letter
that they were withholding the entire $2,700 security deposit.
