Pet deposits/fees & service/ESA animals in Vermont

A search of the full text of 9 V.S.A. ch. 137 (§§ 4451 et seq.) found no separate rule on pet deposits or pet fees, so any pet deposit falls under the general security-deposit rules in that law. Assistance-animal rules are in fair-housing law, which this site has not reviewed for this topic.
