Landlord notice deadlines — Vermont
In Vermont, the checked deadlines on this page cover: pay or quit, ending a tenancy, raising the rent. Each figure carries its statute and the stamp Rules checked October 2026. Run your exact dates through the checker — the period is only half the answer; the counting rule is the other half.
| Pay or quit | 14 calendar days — the tenant may pay and cure (9 V.S.A. § 4467(a)). 14-day actual notice stating the termination date. The tenancy does not terminate if the tenant pays or tenders all rent due through the end of the rental period — but a tenant may defeat an ejectment this way only once in any 12 months. For covered properties, a nonpayment ejectment complaint must also satisfy the federal CARES Act 30-day notice declaration (Vt. R. Civ. P. 9.2). |
|---|---|
| End a tenancy | 60 days — no written agreement, resident 2 years or less (9 V.S.A. § 4467(c)(1)). 60 days' notice. 90 days — no written agreement, resident over 2 years (9 V.S.A. § 4467(c)(1)). 90 days' notice. 30 days — written agreement, resident 2 years or less (9 V.S.A. § 4467(c)(1)). 30 days' notice. 60 days — written agreement, resident over 2 years (9 V.S.A. § 4467(c)(1)). 60 days' notice. 30 days — month-to-month (9 V.S.A. § 4467(e)). 30 days' notice. 21 days — week-to-week (9 V.S.A. § 4467(c)(2)). 21 days' notice. |
| Raise the rent | 60 days (9 V.S.A. § 4455). No apartment cap; a rent increase needs 60 days' written notice. |
| How days are counted | The termination date must be at least 14 days after the date of the actual notice. A rebuttable presumption of receipt arises 3 days after mailing by first-class or certified U.S. mail (9 V.S.A. § 4451(1)). |
| Allowed service methods | hand delivery (actual notice) mailing to the tenant's last known address; every notice must state the specific termination date (9 V.S.A. §§ 4451(1), 4467) |
| Just cause | No statewide just-cause requirement. |

Local rules sit on top of state law in many places — city just-cause lists, rent boards, and prescribed local forms. A state deadline is the floor of the analysis, never a promise that no local rule adds to it.
The paper that goes with the date
The checker gives you the date. The kit gives you the notices: pay or quit, non-renewal / termination, and rent increase letters generated from these same checked deadlines, a letter builder that fills in your dates and names, the move-in and move-out inspection checklists, and the proof-of-service checklist.
One-time payment. No subscription. The checker stays free either way.
