Just cause eviction rules in Nashua, NH — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
New Hampshire RSA 540:2 establishes statewide just-cause eviction requirements. For restricted property, a landlord must prove one of the eight enumerated grounds in RSA 540:2, II(a) through (h), and municipalities cannot expand or contract those grounds.
RSA 540:2 distinguishes restricted property from other rental property. For restricted property (most residential rentals), a landlord must show one of the eight enumerated good-cause grounds in RSA 540:2, II(a) through (h): nonpayment of rent, substantial damage by the tenant, material lease violation, conduct affecting health or safety (or refusal of lead relocation), other good cause including a legitimate business or economic reason, lead-hazard abatement, willful failure to prepare for bed bug treatment, and removal of a cotenant accused of domestic violence. Notice periods under RSA 540:3 are 7 days for the most serious grounds and 30 days for others. The framework is uniform statewide; municipalities cannot alter it.
Self-help evictions are prohibited and create civil liability under RSA 540-A with fines up to $1,000 per day and treble damages for tenant losses.
