Manchester does not require landlords to pay relocation assistance to tenants displaced by no-fault evictions, owner move-ins, or substantial renovations; New Hampshire law imposes no such mandate either.
Cities like Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle require landlords to pay thousands of dollars in relocation assistance when displacing tenants without fault. Manchester has no such ordinance, and New Hampshire RSA 540 contains no statewide relocation-assistance requirement. Tenants displaced by a non-fault eviction in Manchester may apply for assistance through Families in Transition-New Horizons, the NH Coalition to End Homelessness referral network, or the NH Continuum of Care system, but the displacing landlord bears no statutory financial obligation. Federal Uniform Relocation Act payments may apply only when a federally funded project causes displacement.
Although no relocation payment is owed, failing to follow proper notice and court process under RSA 540 still exposes landlords to damages and a wrongful-eviction defense.
