New Hampshire Habitability / warranty of habitability
What is the warranty of habitability in New Hampshire?
A landlord cannot evict for nonpayment if the unit substantially violates the health and safety fitness standards of RSA 48-A or local codes in a way that materially affects habitability, provided the tenant (while not behind on rent) gave notice and the landlord failed to fix it in time.
