Tenants in New Hampshire have the right to stay in their rental unit unless there is a just cause for eviction, such as non-payment of rent or a lease violation. They are entitled to receive a proper eviction notice, and they have the right to contest the eviction in court, ensuring due process is followed.
Alternatively, if the eviction is based on the tenants failure to comply with a material term of the lease, then a 30-day notice period is required. The expiration date on the form is the date the notice period runs out. After the expiration date, the landlord can start the court case to evict the tenant.
The eviction process in New Hampshire, outlined in RSA 540, protects the rights of landlords and tenants and ensures that tenants are only evicted when allowed by law. If an eviction is legal, the landlord can obtain an order to remove the tenant.
