VT H0440

Restricts no-cause evictions to four specific circumstances: units in owner-occupied 2-3 unit buildings, units requiring renovations exceeding 50% of value, landlord or immediate family intending to occupy the premises, or tenant refusing reasonable lease renewal terms

Requires landlords to provide at least 3 months notice for no-cause terminations, plus relocation expenses equivalent to one month's rent or waiver of final month's rent

Caps annual rent increases at 3% plus the Consumer Price Index or 8%, whichever is lower, with 90 days advance notice required

Establishes that lease expiration alone does not constitute cause for eviction, and no-cause protections do not apply during a tenant's first 6 months of occupancy

Takes effect July 1, 2025
