H 616 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to providing protections against eviction

This bill establishes a temporary moratorium on no-cause evictions in Vermont, protecting tenants from being removed from their homes without a specific reason until July 1, 2025. It directly affects landlords and tenants by prohibiting landlords from terminating tenancies under specific no-cause provisions during the temporary period. The law allows landlords to evict tenants only for valid reasons such as nonpayment of rent, lease violations, criminal activity, or if the landlord intends to occupy the property themselves. The measure takes effect immediately upon passage and applies statewide during the designated temporary period.
