New Hampshire Late Rent Notice
This Late Rent Notice is built with New Hampshire as the governing state. These are the New Hampshire landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Rent, late fees & rent increases
New Hampshire has no statute capping residential late fees or limiting how much rent can rise. A late fee is enforceable because the lease provides for it.
- Rent-increase notice — For most rentals, a tenant’s refusal to accept a rent increase is “good cause” for eviction only if the landlord gave written notice of the new amount and its effective date at least 30 days beforehand (RSA 540:2, IV).
- Paying to stop an eviction — A nonpayment case must be dismissed if, before the hearing, the tenant pays all rent due plus other lawful lease charges, $15 in liquidated damages and the landlord’s filing and service costs. A tenant can use this right no more than 3 times in 12 months (RSA 540:9).
- Application fees — Since January 2025 the landlord must disclose any application fee and screening requirements in writing before collecting it, and refund anything beyond actual screening and reasonable administrative costs to an applicant who isn’t offered the unit, within 30 days (RSA 540-A:3, VIII).
New Hampshire Late Rent Notice FAQs
Can a tenant stop a nonpayment eviction by paying in New Hampshire?
Yes. Paying all rent due, other lawful charges, $15 in liquidated damages and the landlord’s filing and service costs before the hearing requires dismissal — but only 3 times in any 12-month period (RSA 540:9).
