To end a month-to-month tenancy without cause, a Vermont landlord must give at least 60 days' notice if the tenancy is two years or less, and at least 90 days' notice if it has lasted more than two years (9 V.S.A. § 4467(c)). Actual removal requires a court action.
Under 9 V.S.A. § 4467(c), a landlord may terminate a month-to-month tenancy for no cause by actual notice of a termination date "at least 60 days after the date of the actual notice if the tenant has resided in the dwelling unit for two years or less, or at least 90 days... if the tenant has resided in the dwelling unit for more than two years." The notice must state the termination date and be actually received. A tenant ending a periodic tenancy generally gives notice equal to at least one rental payment period (§ 4456(d)). Notice alone does not remove the tenant; if the tenant stays, the landlord must bring an ejectment action and obtain a court order before any removal.
No specific statutory penalty. A no-cause termination that does not give the required 60- or 90-day notice will not support an ejectment action, and the landlord cannot use self-help to remove the tenant.
