This bill amends existing law regarding the termination of tenancy by adding a new provision that allows for eviction based on the expiration of a lease or tenancy term if the original term is six months or longer. Specifically, it introduces a new subparagraph (i) to RSA 540:2, II, which stipulates that for leases or tenancies of six months or longer, or those that have been renewed to total six months or more, landlords must provide tenants with written notice at least 60 days prior to the termination date, indicating that the lease will not be renewed and that the tenant must vacate the property.

The bill effectively removes any ambiguity regarding the grounds for eviction related to lease expiration, ensuring that landlords follow a clear notification process. The new legal language inserted into the law emphasizes the requirement for written notice, while no specific deletions from current law are indicated in the text provided. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
