New Hampshire Notice to End a Month-to-Month Tenancy Template

What a New Hampshire notice to end a month-to-month tenancy must include under New Hampshire law, and a fill-in draft that follows those rules.

What New Hampshire law requires

A written eviction notice giving at least 30 days and stating the reason with specificity. On 'restricted property' (most rentals) the landlord must have a statutory good cause; for a 12+ month lease that is expiring, 60 days' written non-renewal notice is required (effective July 1, 2026). Served by any person, in hand or left at the tenant's last and usual place of abode, with an attested copy and affidavit of service. A valid notice must include the information requested on the district court's eviction notice form.

Tenant's own 30-day notice rules are in RSA 540:11.

Fill-in draft

Replace every [bracketed] item. If your state or city requires specific wording, a specific form, or a translated version, that requirement controls over this draft. Courts dismiss eviction cases over defective notices — if anything is unclear, talk to a lawyer.
