Defendant’s lease4 provides that “[a]ny increase of rent shall take effect on the first day
of the rental period following not less than sixty (60) days' written notice to the
Tenant.” Lease at ¶ 3 (emphasis supplied). This provision tracks Vermont statute – “[a]n
increase in rent shall take effect on the first day of the rental period following no less
than 60 days' actual notice to the tenant.” 9 V.S.A. § 4455(b).5 Defendant argues that the
“rental period” means the term of the lease. At hearing Defendant noted that a lease is a
contract6 and that to allow a landlord to materially alter the provisions of such a
contract during the term of the lease would be unlawful.
