CVR 11-020-002 § 3
APPLICABILITY
Operative Text
These rules are not intended to limit or otherwise affect the power of any governmental authority with respect to federal, state or local enforcement of any law.
CVR 11-020-002 § 3 establishes that the rules within this regulatory framework do not reduce or interfere with the authority of any federal, state, or local government body to enforce applicable laws. In other words, other legal obligations and enforcement powers remain fully intact alongside these rules. The provision functions as a savings clause, preserving the independent operation of other legal regimes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under CVR 11-020-002 § 3, property owners and managers should understand that compliance with these rules does not shield them from obligations imposed by other federal, state, or local laws. A compliant operator generally monitors all applicable legal requirements independently, recognizing that this provision explicitly preserves the enforcement authority of other governmental bodies. Obligations under housing codes, fair housing laws, and other regulations continue to apply in full.

CVR 11-020-002 § 3 makes clear that tenants retain all rights and protections available under other federal, state, and local laws, separate from and in addition to whatever these rules provide. If a concern arises that may involve overlapping legal frameworks, tenants can explore remedies through relevant governmental authorities whose enforcement powers are expressly preserved by this provision. Tenant-rights organizations in Vermont can help identify which agencies or legal avenues may be relevant to a particular situation.
