Full Text
1,065 chars[t]he trial court … properly ruled that the claims based on the termination notices of January 3 and January 17 had not properly accrued, as the lawsuit was filed prior to the stated termination dates. The statute provides that “[i]f the tenant remains in possession after termination of the rental agreement … the landlord may bring an action for possession.” 9 V.S.A. § 4468 [emphasis deleted]. The lawsuit filed on January 11 was therefore premature as to those notices with later termination dates. See Avdich v. Kleinert, 69 Ill.2d 1, 12 Ill.Dec. 700, 370 N.E.2d 504, 508 (Ill. 1977) (plaintiff landlord was not entitled to possession until after expiration of stated termination date and therefore could not maintain action to recover possession prior to that time); Hous. Auth. of the City of Newark v. Caldwell, 247 N.J.Super. 595, 589 A.2d 1088, 1089 (N.J. Super Ct. Law Div. 1991) (filing complaint for possession prior to expiration of required termination period means cause of action has not accrued, and court lacks jurisdiction to dispossess tenant).
