A New Hampshire month-to-month lease agreement is a flexible alternative to a traditional long-term lease. It renews automatically each month and can be ended at any time with proper notice. Ideal for changing plans or short-term stays, it offers both landlords and tenants the freedom to adapt without being locked into a lengthy commitment.

Required Landlord Disclosures (4)
When tenants move into a unit, New Hampshire law requires the landlord to make the following disclosures to the tenant:
1. Lead-based paint: Federal law requires landlords to disclose the existence of or any knowledge regarding lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards for all properties built before 1978.
2. Methamphetamine production: New Hampshire landlords must inform tenants if anyone has used the unit for meth production in the past. They must also disclose if the property has not met the Department of Environmental Services remediation standards (477:4-g).
3. Move-in checklist: Landlords must give the tenant a move-in checklist within five days of move-in. Tenants use the checklist to review the property’s condition before moving in (540-A:6-I-c).
4. Security deposits: New Hampshire landlords must tell tenants where they store the security deposit. They must also provide the account number, interest rate, and account records after one year of tenancy if the tenant requests it in writing. If the tenant pays the deposit by check, landlords may waive the first two requirements (540-A:6-I-b+IV).
Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement
Unlike many states, New Hampshire typically requires landlords to terminate a month-to-month lease for cause. The landlord must cite a valid economic or business reason or refer to a lease violation by the tenant. Tenants do not need to show cause when ending the lease (540:3), (540:11).
Required notice for landlord: At least 30 days
Required notice for tenant: At least 30 days
Rent Increase Laws
Since New Hampshire has no statewide rent control, landlords can raise rent to any amount they choose. However, to increase rent on a month-to-month lease, they must give the tenant 30 days’ notice (540:2(IV)).
