Vermont § 221 - § 2A—221.

§ 221. § 2A—221.

• Casualty to identified goods If a lease contract requires goods identified when the lease contract is made, and
  the goods suffer casualty without fault of the lessee, the lessor or the supplier
  before delivery, or the goods suffer casualty before risk of loss passes to the lessee
  pursuant to the lease agreement or section 2A—219 of this section, then: (a) if the loss is total, the lease contract is avoided; and (b) if the loss is partial or the goods have so deteriorated as to no longer conform to
  the lease contract, the lessee may nevertheless demand inspection and at his or her
  option either treat the lease contract as avoided or, except in a finance lease that
  is not a consumer lease, accept the goods with due allowance from the rent payable
  for the balance of the lease term for the deterioration or the deficiency in quantity
  but without further right against the lessor. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.)
