Foreclosure:
A foreclosure moratorium on all occupied properties is currently in place. There is currently a stay on all
foreclosures of occupied properties for 30 days after the current State of Emergency is terminated. The
State of Emergency was extended to 04/15/2021, thereby implementing a stay through 05/15/2021. The
filing of first legal (filing of the complaint) may still be completed during this stay regardless of the
occupancy status of the property. Thereafter, the matter will be placed on an automatic stay through the
end of the moratorium once the complaint is filed. For non- occupancy properties, we are typically able
to proceed to judgment and sale if we file an Affidavit of Non-Occupancy with the court, along with a
Motion to Lift Stay.
Eviction:
An eviction moratorium is currently in place. The stay on all evictions is for 30 days after the current State
of Emergency is terminated. The State of Emergency is currently set to expire on 04/15/2021, thereby
implementing a stay through 05/15/2021.

Vermont is currently under a State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Vermont Governor Phil Scott has extended the State of Emergency to November 15, 2020
Foreclosure:
A foreclosure moratorium on all occupied properties is currently in place. There is currently a stay on all foreclosures of occupied properties for 30 days after the current State of Emergency is terminated. The State of Emergency was extended to 11/15/2020, thereby implementing a stay through 12/15/2020. The filing of first legal (filing of the complaint) may still be completed during this stay regardless of the occupancy status of the property. Thereafter, the matter will be placed on an automatic stay through the end of the moratorium once the complaint is filed. For non- occupancy properties, we are typically able to proceed to judgment and sale if we file an Affidavit of Non-Occupancy with the court, along with a Motion to Lift Stay.
The Vermont Judiciary has implemented a new Certification Requirement, under the 13th Amendment to Administrative Order No. 49, for actions filed between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020, in response to the moratoriums implemented by the CARES Act. The Amendment requires the Plaintiff (or authorized representative) to certify that “the lender either state that the CARES Act does not apply because the subject mortgage does not secure a federally backed loan, or that if it does, the lender has advised the borrower of the opportunity to request forbearance and that the borrower has either not responded to or declined the offer.” Our office will be requesting confirmation, in writing, so that we, as an authorized representative, may execute the certification on behalf of the client.
Eviction:
An eviction moratorium is currently in place. The stay on all evictions is for 30 days after the current State of Emergency is terminated. The State of Emergency is currently set to expire on 11/15/2020, thereby implementing a stay through 12/15/2020.
