Bill > HB60

This bill modifies New Hampshire's landlord-tenant law by adding a new provision to RSA 540:2, II that allows landlords to terminate a tenancy when the lease expires under specific conditions. Specifically, the bill permits eviction for leases that are 6 months or longer (or leases that have been renewed to total 6 months or more) if the landlord provides the tenant with a written notice at least 60 days in advance stating that the lease will not be renewed and that the tenant must vacate the rental property at the end of the lease term. This change provides landlords with more flexibility in ending tenancies by making lease expiration a valid reason for eviction, while also protecting tenants by requiring a significant advance notice period. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, giving both landlords and tenants time to understand and prepare for the new legal provision.
