How much notice a tenant and a landlord must give to end a month-to-month tenancy in New Hampshire, and the statute that controls — verified July 2026.
Tenant: At least 30 days (or one rental period).
Landlord: GOOD CAUSE required for most apartments ('restricted property') — no true no-cause eviction. Owners of ≤3 single-family units, or owner-occupied ≤4-unit buildings, may terminate no-cause with 30 days. The NH trap: for standard apartments the landlord must state a statutory good cause even with 30 days' notice.
