RE: Legal Access to Residental Rental Property at: ___________________________________________________.
address of rented property
Dear _____________________________________________:
I am writing to inform you of the law regarding landlord access. Pursuant to chapter 137, section 4460 of the Vermont state statutes, a landlord may enter the unit with the tenant's consent. Without consent, a landlord can enter the unit between
9:00 AM and 9:00 PM with no less than 48 hours notice to:
1. inspect the premises;
2. make necessary or agreed repairs, alterations, or improvements;
3 supply agreed services; or
4. exhibit the unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers or contractors.
A landlord can only enter the unit without consent or notice when there is a "reasonable belief that there is imminent danger to any person or property."
I thank you in advance for complying with the law.
Sincerely,
