We created a new Vermont Housing Laws section that includes the following 10 new questions explaining housing-related protections for victims of abuse, sexual assault, and stalking. We also added five related statutes to our Selected Vermont Statutes page.
- Is there a law that protects me if I need to break my lease?
- What is a “protected tenant”?
- What documentation do I need to show my landlord to end my lease?
- Can my landlord tell others about my situation?
- Can I ask my landlord to change the locks?
- If my landlord does not change the locks, can I do it?
- Can I install security cameras or other security measures?
- Can a landlord refuse to rent me an apartment because I am a victim of abuse?
- Can a landlord change the conditions or terms of my rental unit because I am a victim?
- I am worried that my status as a victim will be used against me. Is that legal?
