A New Hampshire month-to-month rental agreement is a legal document that establishes a brief tenancy between a landlord and tenant without an end date. This type of lease renews automatically at the end of each monthly period, continuing indefinitely until either the landlord or tenant decides to end the tenancy.
Landlords are required to provide tenants with a receipt for any security deposit received. Moreover, they must give tenants a written inventory of the property’s condition within five days after the tenancy begins. Tenants should fill out this inventory, noting any existing damages, and return it to the landlord within five days.
Changes to the lease require a notice from either the landlord or the tenant. It’s advised to send such a notice through certified mail with a return receipt to ensure the other party acknowledges its receipt.

When evicting a tenant on a month-to-month lease in New Hampshire, landlords must provide a written notice at least 30 days before the end of the rental period, specifying the termination date. This notice does not require a reason for termination, as month-to-month tenancies can be ended without cause.
However, if the eviction is due to non-payment of rent or lease violations, landlords must follow specific procedures, including providing a shorter notice period and allowing the tenant an opportunity to rectify the issue.
