Vermont late fee calculator: is your rent late fee legal?
What the law says in Vermont: No provision on residential late fees found in 9 V.S.A. chapter 137. Rent is payable without demand or notice at the time and place agreed (§ 4455(a)), so any late fee must come from the lease. Separately, a landlord may not charge an application fee to apply for a residential rental (§ 4456a(a)).
