An act relating to residential rental agreements, eviction procedures, and the creation of the positive rental payment credit reporting pilot program

Chamber Passed·3/27/26

Vermont H0772 amends residential rental agreements, eviction procedures, and establishes a positive rental payment credit reporting pilot program.

Vermont H0772 amends residential rental agreements by modifying notice periods for termination of tenancy, including specific timeframes for different scenarios such as nonpayment of rent, breach of rental agreement, and termination for no cause. It also introduces a process for just cause evictions, allowing tenants to challenge evictions based on serious health and safety code violations. The bill creates a positive rental payment credit reporting pilot program to facilitate the reporting of rent payment information from tenants to credit reporting agencies.
