CVR 11-020-003 § 5
RETAINING LOT RENT INCREASE INFORMATION
Operative Text
5.1 The Department shall preserve the registration and rent increase information received from each park owner for a minimum of three years, or until the conclusion of any litigation concerning a lot rent increase, whichever occurs later.
Under CVR 11-020-003 § 5, the Vermont Department is required to keep registration and rent increase records submitted by mobile home park owners for at least three years. If litigation arises over a lot rent increase, the Department must hold onto the relevant records until that legal proceeding fully concludes, even if that extends beyond the three-year minimum. The longer of the two timeframes always controls how long the records are retained.
Plain English — not legal advice.
CVR 11-020-003 § 5 places the record-retention obligation on the Department, not directly on park owners, but operators should be aware that the information they submit — including registration details and rent increase filings — will be preserved for at least three years or through the end of any related litigation. Compliant park owners generally maintain their own parallel records of submitted filings so they can cross-reference the Department's retained information if questions arise. Keeping organized documentation of all lot rent increase submissions is a common practice among well-managed parks.

CVR 11-020-003 § 5 means that records of a park owner's rent increase filings are held by the Department and remain accessible for at least three years, or longer if litigation over a lot rent increase is ongoing. Tenants who believe a rent increase was improperly filed or documented may find that the Department's retained records are a useful resource when exploring their options. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Vermont mobile home park law can help residents understand how to access or use these records.
