A Vermont fourteen (14) day notice to quit is a form delivered to a tenant when rent was not paid on the due date. Within the notice, it explains to the tenant that they will have 14 days after the date delivered to remedy the debt or be terminated from their rental agreement. The lease agreement shall not terminate if the tenant tenders the amount due for the time period in which it was due. Any acceptance of partial payment by the landlord will not allow the tenant off the hook which means the full amount, even if partially paid, must be made before the 14 days expire.
If the tenant decides to remain on the premises after the 14 days have expired, the landlord may file for an eviction lawsuit. Both parties will be able to argue their sides in court. If the landlord wins the case, a law enforcement officer will then, with a court order, perform the eviction.
