A landlord can only legally evict a tenant by sending a written notice to the tenant. This written notice must take the form of a « written notice of termination or resignation, » which is a legal document. Eviction for non-payment of rent, property damage or endangering the health or safety of others requires seven days` notice. All other grounds for deportation require 30 days` notice. Under certain conditions, tenants can stop paying rent to force the landlord to comply with health rules or RSA 48-A (see RSA 540:13-c and -d). Since non-payment of rent can be grounds for eviction, tenants need expert legal advice before withholding rent. The New Hampshire Consumer Protection Bureau would refer all tenants who consider taking this action to New Hampshire Legal Assistance or a private lawyer for help. Leases are important legal documents that govern the rights and obligations of tenants of any type of housing. Leases are usually prepared by the owners.
The terms of the lease are therefore often written in favour of the landlord. A potential tenant should read the lease carefully before signing it. A lease is a legally binding contract, so the tenant must understand and agree to the terms of the lease. A potential tenant should know who is paying for hot water, utilities, parking, snow removal, garbage disposal and other costs before signing the lease. If the landlord and tenant agree to change something in the printed lease, the change must be made in writing and the tenant and landlord must initial next to the change. All promises to repair the rented property must be made in writing. Keep a copy of the lease so you can refer to it if something goes wrong. New Hampshire law requires the landlord to provide the tenant with a copy of the lease within 30 days of signing. Tenants should always receive receipts for what they pay to the landlord (although cancelled cheques are often enough to prove payment). 263:12 Prohibitions. – It is an administrative offence for any person: I.
