Landlord entry & access

A Vermont landlord may enter with the tenant’s consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld. To inspect, make repairs, supply services, or show the unit to prospective buyers or tenants, the landlord must give at least 48 hours’ notice and enter only between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. (§4460(a)–(b)).

Entry without consent or notice is allowed only when the landlord reasonably believes there is imminent danger to a person or property (§4460(c)).

Required disclosures in Vermont

Beyond these, Vermont’s rental chapter doesn’t require a long list of state-specific lease riders.

  • Lead-safe maintenance (pre-1978) — Unless exempt, owners of pre-1978 rental housing must follow the state’s lead-safe maintenance requirements and file a compliance statement with the Department of Health.

  • Lead-based paint (federal) — Federal warning, pamphlet, and known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d).
