Vermont eviction process

14 days nonpayment notice.

Nonpayment requires a 14-day notice to pay or quit; many no-fault terminations require 60 or 90 days depending on tenancy length. Just cause applies in some cities (e.g., Burlington).

What this means for you: Paying within the 14-day window stops a nonpayment eviction.

Your next step: Note the 14-day deadline and pay if you can.
