Questions answered? Let's get started!
A Vermont lease often stays private while its existence still belongs on the public record. This fill-in-the-blank Vermont memorandum of lease carries the trustee lessor configuration: the lessor holds the leased property as trustee of a trust and signs solely in that stated capacity, the lessee joins, and the recorded memorandum places notice of the lease in the land records of the town or city where the property lies, under 27 V.S.A. Section 341(c), without recording the lease itself.
Notice on the land records without the full lease
Under 27 V.S.A. Section 342, a lease for a term of more than one year is not effectual to hold the leased estate against any person but the grantor and the grantor's heirs unless it is acknowledged and recorded. Vermont law supplies a way to satisfy the record without exposing the rent and the rest of the bargain: 27 V.S.A. Section 341(c) permits recording a notice or memorandum of lease, an instrument some drafters call a short form lease, that carries the names and addresses of the parties, the date of execution, the term, a description of the property, any rights of extension or renewal, any rights of purchase or first refusal, any restrictions on assignment, and the location of the original lease. The statute states that the memorandum is executed and acknowledged by the parties to the lease, so the lessor and the lessee both sign and both acknowledge.
A lessor who signs as trustee
The form recites exactly one lessor, named in a stated trustee capacity with the trust's full name, and one lessee. A sentence in the operative section limits the lessor's execution to that trustee capacity, so the record shows the trust relationship on its face. Trust-held rental property presents this pattern in Vermont land records: a family trust holding a leased commercial building, or a revocable living trust holding an income property, appears of record with the trustee as lessor. A lease signed by individual co-owners, or by several cotrustees each signing, presents a different signature architecture than this form carries.
The form carries a separate acknowledgment certificate for each signer, so the trustee and the lessee may acknowledge on different dates, before different notaries, or in different states. The acknowledgment blank holds a full representative capacity, in the style of the completed example's trustee entry. The trustee's authority to lease comes from the trust instrument and the Vermont Trust Code; a certification of trust under 14A V.S.A. Section 1013, prepared and recorded separately and not included in this package, is the sworn instrument Vermont law describes as evidence of that authority.
Recording at the town clerk, and the transfer tax line
Vermont records land instruments by municipality, so the memorandum goes to the clerk of the town or city where the property lies, at the statewide fee of $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. Section 1671. One tax question rides with every recorded lease instrument in Vermont: 32 V.S.A. Section 9601 defines a deed, for property transfer tax purposes, to include a memorandum of lease evidencing a transfer of title to property, and it defines title to property to reach perpetual leaseholds, terms of 50 years or more counting renewal rights, and shorter terms that pair a purchase right with a right to construct improvements. A memorandum of a lease within those definitions is recordable only with a completed Property Transfer Tax Return under 32 V.S.A. Section 9608. An ordinary fixed-term lease below those thresholds, like the five year term with one renewal option shown in the completed example, sits outside the statutory definitions, and the return requirement attached to taxable transfers does not reach it. The memorandum's term, renewal, and purchase entries carry exactly the facts that answer the question.
What arrives in the download
The package delivers the blank fillable memorandum of lease as a PDF, a completed example showing a trust-held Montpelier property from trustee entry through both acknowledgments, and a guide that walks each numbered section, the signing and notarization mechanics, and the recording steps at the municipal clerk's office. The materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice; a Vermont attorney can address how these rules operate on a specific lease or trust.

This website was most helpful and easy to use. Glad the information I needed was available
Thank you!

PDF fields change font sizes leading to an unprofessional-appearing printed page. The examples for "Convey to" section don't include how to specify just one person instead of a married couple. Maybe that is simple but it would help to spell it out in an example. Haven't submitted to County Recorder yet, so will find out if it is acceptable.
Thank you for the feedback Brian.
The font issue is caused by using a PDF viewer other than Adobe Acrobat Reader. Our form fields are set to a uniform 12-point font, but non-Adobe viewers often render form fields inconsistently. Opening and printing the form with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader will resolve that.
Regarding the examples, that's a fair point, we'll look at expanding them.

Marcell E. 1 out of 5 stars
I am not very happy about the fact that I paid 27.00 to not even have the forms filled out. I thought that it was going to be all done for me and I was told that I need a lawyer to have the form filled out properly.
The order you placed for the do it yourself forms has been canceled. We do hope that you find the $27 attorney you deserve. Have a wonderful day.

Nice service at a fair price. Website is not very user oriented. Messages accumulate in the messages area but are not emailed to the client. If you used the service regularly, it would be more understandable but for a first time or occasional user, the site can be time consuming.
Thank you!
