Vermont IRC Compliance: A Landlord Guide
This guide explains Vermont Inspection, Repair and Cleaning practices for rental property owners, including annual inspection, cleaning, repair, notice, and filing responsibilities.
Who Must Comply
Vermont IRC requirements apply to qualifying pre-1978 rental housing. Owners should confirm property-specific applicability and exemptions with the Vermont Department of Health.
Annual Inspection and Cleaning
The program combines annual visual inspection obligations with lead-safe cleaning requirements in applicable circumstances, including change-of-tenancy work.
Repair Thresholds and Timing
Minor deterioration and regulated RRPM work follow different paths. Regulated repairs are not same-day service: pre-work materials and documentation must be completed before licensed RRPM work begins.
Compliance Filing
Keep records and file required compliance information through the State process on the timetable that applies to the property.
