New Hampshire rules at a glance

New Hampshire rules for a Lease Renewal Agreement
Rent-increase notice30 days’ written notice of the amount and effective dateRSA 540:2, IV
Lease non-renewal (from July 1, 2026)60 days’ written notice, for leases of 12+ monthsRSA 540:2, II(i)

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).
