Student Life

Housing

Although VLS does not offer on-campus housing, we maintain a searchable database of rental properties as a service to our students.  Students are responsible for contacting the landlords and for their housing while at Vermont Law School.  We strongly recommend that students set up appointments with prospective landlords from their home prior to visiting South Royalton. This is especially true during the summer months when landlords may be on vacation.

Our housing database is comprised of rental properties that local landlords have entered into our site. The database is updated regularly and can be searched by many criteria such as number of bedrooms, location, pets allowed, and cost. In late spring landlords begin entering their rentals for the next academic year, which begins in late August.

Roommates

Although VLS does not match students or find roommates for their students we do offer a roommate finder website.  Students complete a roommate questionnaire describing their lifestyle and housing preferences. Once the questionnaire is completed and submitted, the form goes to the Housing Department.  Students will receive a link to the Roommate finder website, via e-mail, once the questionnaire is approved.  The roommate website works like a searchable database.  Students will enter in their preferences and hit submit.  Roommates matching the preferences entered will then come onto the screen.

SiP Housing

VLS has created a section for SiP housing in the online classifieds in the VLS Student-Net.   This classified page is meant to help match students needing to sublet their housing for a semester to students that need a sublet for a semester.  Students wanting to enter a classified ad go to: http://forms.vermontlaw.edu/classifieds/classifiedzone/

Tenant Resources

Vermont Tenants, Inc. publishes the free Renting in Vermont booklet. Call    1-800-287-7971    to request a copy, or view the online edition at www.cvoeo.org. Renting in Vermont provides comprehensive information on the legal rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants. We strongly encourage students to acquire and read through a copy of the booklet.

The Vermont Law School Mediation Project trains second and third year law students who are trained and supervised by an experienced attorney and mediator. The Mediation Project operates a Campus Mediation Program for disputes, including housing issues that arise between students and landlords, and student room mates. Campus Mediation services are provided on a case by case basis as disputes arise and as mediators are available. Contact Professor Robin Barone at rbarone@vermontlaw.edu for more information.
