CVR 13-140-031 § 11
Mobile Homes on Rented Lots
Operative Text
11.1 It shall be the responsibility of the owner of a rented mobile home lot to provide connection to electrical services, water supply and sewage disposal to a location on each lot from which these services can be connected to the mobile home. 11.1.1 Electrical Services: The mobile home lot owner is responsible for installation and maintenance of the electrical service to the main electrical panel in the home. 11.1.2 Water Supply: The mobile home lot owner is responsible for the maintenance of water lines to a point at which the lines surface under the mobile home. 11.1.3 Sewage Disposal: The mobile home lot owner is responsible for the maintenance of the sewage disposal system to the point where it surfaces from the ground to service the mobile home.
Under CVR 13-140-031 § 11, owners of rented mobile home lots bear responsibility for connecting electrical service, water supply, and sewage disposal to each lot so that a mobile home can hook into those systems. The responsibility for electrical service extends all the way to the main electrical panel inside the home. For water and sewage, the lot owner's maintenance obligation runs up to the point where those lines emerge from the ground beneath or near the mobile home.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rented mobile home lots under CVR 13-140-031 § 11 generally ensure that electrical, water, and sewer connections are installed and kept in working order up to the defined handoff points on each lot. For electrical service, compliant lot owners maintain the line through to the home's main panel; for water and sewer, maintenance covers the underground infrastructure up to where it surfaces at the home. Keeping records of inspections, repairs, and service upgrades at each lot helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with these utility obligations.

CVR 13-140-031 § 11 establishes that the lot owner—not the mobile home resident—is responsible for maintaining electrical, water, and sewer infrastructure up to specific points at or within the home. If a tenant experiences failures in these utility connections, that provision may be relevant to any complaint or dispute about habitability conditions. Tenants can explore options such as contacting Vermont's relevant housing or health authorities, raising the provision in a rent-board or court proceeding, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
