In New Hampshire, landlord-tenant relationships are governed by RSA Chapter 540 – Actions Against Tenants and RSA Chapter 540-A – Rental Practices. These laws regulate leases, eviction processes, landlord access, and tenant protections, including anti-retaliation and domestic violence provisions. The law also requires proper notice before eviction or rent increases. Each section is outlined and linked below.
