A New Hampshire-compliant lease with every disclosure the state requires built in, not bolted on — 4 state-specific clauses plus 11 universal ones. Fill it in, e-sign it, and it lives with the tenant record.
New Hampshire caps deposits at one month’s rent or $100, whichever is greater, and requires interest on any deposit held a year or more (RSA 540-A:6). In most rentals a landlord needs a legal reason to end a tenancy, not just the end of the lease term.
These are the clauses and disclosures our New Hampshire template carries. Each cites the statute it comes from; the ones marked checkbox are filled from your property's answers.
