Vermont Month-to-Month Lease Agreement
The Vermont Month-to-Month Lease Agreement is a form utilized by landlords looking to lease without establishing a fixed end-date. A fixed-end date refers to a lease that binds both parties into a lease for an average duration of one (1) year. Leasing without a long-term obligation is often preferred by landlords/property owners that are looking for increased freedom in their rental contracts or by those that cannot lease their property for a full twelve (12) months due to them living in it for a part of the year. Either party can send a termination notice to the other party to end the contract with either sixty (60) or ninety (90) days’ notice. If the parties would prefer a shorter notice for terminating the agreement, the landlord can edit the lease to reflect said shorter notice time.
