New Hampshire Military Clause (SCRA)

This Military Clause (SCRA) 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.

New Hampshire rules at a glance

New Hampshire rules for a Military Clause (SCRA)
Domestic violenceA landlord may not terminate a tenancy solely because a tenant or household member is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, with qualifying verification (RSA 540:2, VII).
Lease non-renewal (from July 1, 2026)60 days’ written notice, for leases of 12+ monthsRSA 540:2, II(i)

Ending a New Hampshire tenancy

Most New Hampshire rentals are “restricted property,” which a landlord may terminate only for a reason listed in RSA 540:2, II: nonpayment after demand, substantial damage, failure to comply with a material lease term, behavior affecting others’ health or safety, certain lead-abatement and pest-preparation issues, and “other good cause” — which includes any legitimate business or economic reason (RSA 540:2, V). Before evicting for tenant-caused “other good cause,” the landlord must first warn the tenant in writing (RSA 540:2, III).

From July 1, 2026 (HB 60), the end of a lease whose original term is 12 months or longer — or a shorter lease renewed for a total of 12 months or longer — is also a ground — if the landlord gave written notice at least 60 days before the lease end that it won’t be renewed and files the possessory action within 6 months after it expires. This “no-fault” termination can’t be treated as an eviction for rental applications or tenant screening, and retaliation and discrimination defenses still apply (RSA 540:2, II(i), VIII).

New Hampshire residential eviction notice periods (RSA 540:3, II)
Nonpayment of rent7 days
Substantial damage to the premises7 days
Behavior affecting health or safety7 days
Accused perpetrator after a domestic-violence lease termination7 days
All other grounds30 days
  • Contents — The eviction notice must state the specific reason for termination, and a nonpayment notice must tell the tenant of any right to avoid eviction by paying the arrears and liquidated damages (RSA 540:3, III–IV).
  • Utility payments — A tenant can’t be evicted for nonpayment if the arrears don’t exceed what the tenant paid, with proof, to keep landlord-provided utilities from being shut off (RSA 540:2, VI).
  • Domestic violence — A landlord may not terminate a tenancy solely because a tenant or household member is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, with qualifying verification (RSA 540:2, VII).
