New Hampshire Seven-Day Eviction Notice to Remaining Accused Cotenant or Occupant
New Hampshire Seven-Day Eviction Notice to Remaining Accused Cotenant or Occupant
Before you use this: This notice addresses only RSA 540:2, II(h): a remaining cotenant or occupant accused of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking after a qualifying tenant terminates the lease under RSA 540:11-b. Confirm the earlier termination and the property's classification. Identify the grounds specifically, but keep the tenant's verification and other sensitive records confidential except as the law permits. This notice states an accusation, not a finding of guilt. Have counsel review it before service.

Landlord-tenant paperwork governs who can stay in a property, on what terms, and what happens when something goes wrong. Leases, notices to quit, security deposit demands, and habitability complaints all have state and often city-specific requirements for timing, content, and service. Getting the paperwork right is what makes an eviction actually succeed or a security deposit actually come back, because judges regularly dismiss cases over small procedural mistakes.
