    What Vermont requires

    Notice before a rent increase

    Vermont rent increases need at least 60 days' actual notice and can start only on the first day of a rental period after that window closes (9 V.S.A. § 4455(b)).

    The increase takes effect on the first day of the rental period following at least 60 days' actual notice. Certain privately owned age-restricted housing: written notice to residents and the Department of Housing and Community Development at least 60 days before the effective date, or the increase is unenforceable (§ 4468a). Burlington ordinance reported to require longer notice (ACCD: 3 rental periods).

    9 V.S.A. § 4455(b), 9 V.S.A. § 4468a · checked October 27, 2026

    Rent control

    Vermont has no rent control law; the Residential Rental Agreements chapter (9 V.S.A. ch. 137) regulates notice and procedure but not the amount of rent.

    9 V.S.A. ch. 137 · checked October 28, 2026

    Notice to end a month-to-month tenancy

    Without a written lease, a Vermont landlord must give at least 60 days' actual notice to end a monthly tenancy for no cause (90 days once the tenant has lived there over two years), while the tenant need give only one full rental period (9 V.S.A. §§ 4467(c)(1), 4456(d)).

    Landlord, no cause, monthly rent, no written agreement: 60 days (tenancy 2 years or less) or 90 days (over 2 years) (§ 4467(c)(1)). Written rental agreement: 30 days (2 years or less) or 60 days (over 2 years) before the end of the term (§ 4467(e)). Weekly rent: 21 days without a written agreement, 7 days with one. Shared living space in the owner's home: 15 days monthly / 7 days weekly (§ 4467(h)). Burlington: 90/120 days for no-cause notices without a written agreement. Tenant: one full rental period unless a written agreement says otherwise (§ 4456(d)).

    9 V.S.A. § 4467(c), (e), (f), (h), 9 V.S.A. § 4456(d) · checked October 27, 2026

    With 60 days' notice delivered on November 1, 2026, the earliest effective date the form accepts is December 31, 2026, and the example moves it to the first day of a month on or after that date. Vermont's rule above sets different terms in some situations, so set the form's notice period to the one that fits your tenancy.

    City and county rules can be stricter than state law, and your lease can require more than the statute does. Use whichever rule gives the tenant more time or protection.
