A Vermont 14-day notice to quit (criminal activity) is a document that a landlord presents to a tenant in the event of suspected criminal activity, illegal drug activity, or acts of violence that threaten the health and well being of other tenants (residents) and that make the tenant eligible for eviction. The landlord must serve this notice to the tenant which needs to include the date on which the tenancy will terminate and that can be no less than 14 days from the date of actual notice.
