Bill > HB444

This bill requires owners of restricted multi-family residential properties to provide tenants with a 60-day notice and an opportunity to purchase the property before accepting a final unconditional sales offer. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law by adding a new section that mandates landlords follow procedures similar to those used in manufactured housing park sales, though without involving the New Hampshire Manufactured Housing Association. The term "restricted multi-family residential property" suggests the law applies to specific types of multi-unit housing, though the exact definition is not provided in the bill text. The notification process gives tenants a chance to potentially buy the property they currently rent, which could help protect tenants from sudden displacement and provide them with a first option to maintain their housing stability. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving property owners and tenants time to understand and prepare for the new requirements.
