Landlord Relief Program (LRP)

The Landlord Relief Program provides an incentive and added security to landlords statewide who house Vermonters receiving rental assistance or who are homeless.

Our NEW BENEFIT UNDER LRP seeks to preserve sustainable tenancies. The EVICTION PREVENTION PORTION of the Landlord Relief Program allows for landlords who are in the eviction process TO APPLY for non-payment of rent IN ORDER TO SAVE SUSTAINABLE TENANCIES.

Please start by reading up on the program One Pager. Then submit your packet with the Eligibility Form and Application to gro.ahsvnull@feilerdroldnal. If the tenant meets the eligibility requirements and both landlord and tenant agree to end the eviction, the Stipulation to Dismiss form needs to be completed, filed with the court, and then uploaded in the Landlord Relief Portal. Let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Please see our Administrative Policy for details on how the Eviction Prevention program will be administered.

Please watch this video highlighting how the Eviction Prevention program works.
