The Office of Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell (pictured) recently contacted nearly 30 landlords requesting they demonstrate compliance with Vermont's lead law.
The letters, mailed to 27 landlords in Chittenden and Washington counties, are just the latest round of requests Sorrell has sent.
"We have already sent letters to landlords in 10 counties and there was an 18% increase in lead compliance filings in 2009," Sorrell says. "Hopefully, that trend will continue."
