About eviction risk in Vermont

Vermont spans 183 cities in our dataset, with an average landlord-risk score of 4.8/10. Scores range from 4.4 in the most landlord-neutral jurisdictions to 7.6 in the most tenant-protective. The state's average rent burden (median gross rent ÷ median household income) is 30.6%, which is the single strongest predictor of eviction filings.

Landlords operating anywhere in Vermont should review state-level statutes on notice periods, just-cause requirements, security deposit limits, and grace periods before initiating any eviction. Local ordinances in tenant-protective cities may impose additional requirements beyond state minimums — use the city grids above to see risk at the specific jurisdiction where you own rentals.
