Operative Text

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A: § 205-A:20
The remedies provided in this subdivision are in addition to and not in derogation of any other remedies which may be available to an injured party at common law or by statute.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:20 establishes that the legal remedies created within this subdivision of the statute are cumulative, meaning they stack on top of — rather than replace — any other remedies that might exist under common law or other statutes. A person harmed under circumstances covered by this subdivision is not forced to choose between the remedies this subdivision provides and those available elsewhere in the law. The provision preserves the full range of legal options that an injured party might otherwise have.

For Property Managers

Under N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:20, operators should be aware that compliance obligations under this subdivision do not represent the ceiling of potential legal exposure. If a violation occurs, an affected party may pursue remedies both under this subdivision and under other applicable legal theories simultaneously. Compliant operators generally maintain thorough records and practices that address obligations across all potentially applicable legal frameworks, not just those enumerated in this subdivision.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:20 means that if you have been harmed in a way covered by this subdivision, your legal options are not limited to what this subdivision alone provides. You may also have rights under common law theories or other statutes, and pursuing one avenue does not necessarily foreclose the others. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help you understand the range of remedies that may be available in situations governed by this provision.
