No statewide eviction complaint form in Vermont

Vermont Judiciary states it has no eviction complaint form; general civil forms used.

No eviction complaint form (Judiciary: 'does not have an eviction complaint form'). Landlord adapts general civil complaint Source: vtcourts.gov

What this means for you: ask the clerk of the court where the property is located which eviction complaint and summons it uses (many courts publish their own), or have an attorney prepare the pleadings. EvictWeb’s Eviction Wizard and Notice to Quit generator help you organise the facts; the Court Forms Wizard can print an information sheet with your answers to copy onto the court’s form.
