APay a penalty if they want to leave after the initial term
BGive the contractually required notice within the specified timeframe before the term ends to avoid automatic renewal✓ Correct
CRenew for only 30 days regardless of the original term
DObtain landlord approval before any decision about renewal

Explanation

Automatic renewal clauses renew the lease for the same term unless one party provides timely notice of non-renewal (typically 30–90 days before expiration). Vermont tenants must carefully track lease expiration dates and provide proper notice if they wish to vacate rather than renew.
