Vermont Rent Increase Notice

A Vermont landlord has to give tenants written notice before rent goes up. How much notice — and whether there’s a cap — is set by statute. Here’s what Vermont’s says.

Vermont rules at a glance

Vermont rules for a Rent Increase Notice
Notice before an increase	60 days. An increase takes effect only on the first day of a rental period following at least 60 days’ actual notice — written notice hand-delivered or mailed to the last known address.9 V.S.A. §4455(b)
Rent cap	Vermont has no statewide rent control or cap on the size of an increase; the binding limit is the 60-day notice.

Rent, late fees & application fees

Rent increases — An increase takes effect only on the first day of a rental period following at least 60 days’ actual notice to the tenant (§4455(b)). “Actual notice” means written notice hand-delivered or mailed to the last known address (§4451).
Late fees — Chapter 137 sets no late-fee cap or grace period. A fee should be written into the lease and bear a reasonable relation to the landlord’s cost of late payment — an excessive fee risks being struck as an unenforceable penalty.
No application fees — A landlord or agent may not charge anyone an application fee to apply for a residential rental (§4456a).
Rent control — Vermont has no statewide rent control or cap on the size of an increase; the binding limit is the 60-day notice.
