The Eliasons are of course entitled to prove their damages by showing they “sustained
damages or injury as a result of any false or fraudulent representations or practices of the
violator.” Lang McLaughry Spera Real Estate, LLC v. Hinsdale, 2011 VT 29, ¶ 32, 190 Vt. 1
(internal brackets and quotation mark omitted). The Eliasons’ damages for the Harrisons’ failure
to comply with the rental ordinances are distinct from any damages they could be entitled to if
the court were to later find the Harrisons also violated by the CPA by breaching the warranty of
habitability. How much the Eliasons were harmed by the Harrisons possibly multiple CPA
violations is a question of fact, hence the court denies the Eliasons’ motion on the issue of
damages.
