Lease Agreements in Vermont
Vermont landlord-tenant law is governed by 9 V.S.A. § 4451 et seq. Vermont has no cap on security deposits, which must be returned within 14 days of move-out with an itemized deduction statement.
Vermont has no statewide rent control. The eviction process begins with a 14-day notice for non-payment. Vermont is considered moderately tenant-friendly, with strong habitability requirements and protections against retaliatory evictions.
