How much notice must a landlord give to end a tenancy in Vermont?
In Vermont, the notice required to end a tenancy or decline to renew depends on how long the tenant has lived there: Two years or less — 60 days; More than two years — 90 days. These periods apply to a monthly tenancy with no written rental agreement; under a written agreement the no-cause notice is 30 days before the end of the term, or 60 after two years. This is 9 V.S.A. §§ 4455(b), 4460(b), 4467(a), 4467(c), 4467(e).
| What | Vermont |
|---|---|
| Two years or less | 60 days |
| More than two years | 90 days |
Notes
A rent increase takes effect on the first day of the rental period after at least 60 days' actual notice. Without a written rental agreement, a landlord may end a monthly tenancy for no cause with 60 days' notice where the tenant has lived there two years or less, and 90 days where it has been longer. Entry: 48 hours' notice, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., except where the landlord reasonably believes there is imminent danger. Nonpayment: at least 14 days' actual notice of the termination date — and the tenancy does not end if the tenant pays or tenders the rent due through the end of the rental period.
