The Renting in Vermont Handbook is intended to give tenants and landlords a basic understanding of their rights and responsibilities. It summarizes Vermont's landlord/tenant statute (9 V.S.A. Chapter 137), as well as some municipal laws, state regulations and Vermont Supreme Court decisions which also govern the landlord/tenant relationship. Renting In Vermont is to be used as a guide to better understand legal rights and help prevent some of the common problems which occur between tenants and landlords. However, although it was developed with legal assistance, this book does not constitute a legal opinion or advice.
If you have questions about whether information in this book applies to you, you should seek legal advice.
