State Specific Question About: NEW HAMPSHIRE (NH)

I'm putting my side by side 2 family up for sale Jan. 2. (I can't wait) I have a tenant that doesn't even want me in to fix a toilet. Can someone tell me what rights I have when showing it and what rights does he have?

Thank you --24.34.xx.xxx

barring no funky laws in NH, you have the absolute right to list and sell the property. He has the obligation to allow you to do so.

How that works in reality is very different if he won't cooperate. Get him out and then list the property for sale. --72.70.xxx.xx

Post the door with 24 hour notice for showing but if they are adversarial it will be an issue. The first building we bought the tenant they were evicting claimed to have a communicable disease and wouldn’t let the inspection take place. My MIL was smart enough to write our P&S to read we would take possession after the eviction was completed with tenant removed and the unit rental ready. They agreed and then didn’t hire a lawyer and messed up the paperwork so it took at least an extra 3 months to close. --73.17.xx.xxx

As a LL we have an obligation for quiet enjoyment so viewings should be at reasonable hours and under reasonable conditions.

You also have an obligation to maintain the property.

Nicole - as usual is spot on when it comes to advising you about uncooperative residents. It is a no win situation for both of you. Try and make it a win -win --24.101.xxx.xx

Interesting article in Fosters Daily Democrat or Seacoast online media about evictions rising from people selling their rentals. It mentions a lawyer from Bedford that has done several. --73.17.xx.xxx

A hostile tenant will make things nearly impossible in terms of a sale. If you're trying to sell the place as a rental property with tenants in place, then you may need to provide some financial incentive for the tenant to be cooperative with showings. --96.245.xx.xx
