Plain English

Under N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:5, when a manufactured housing park owner or operator issues a notice to terminate a tenancy, that notice must include a stated reason for the termination. The law does not permit a blank or reason-free eviction notice in this context. This requirement applies to all tenancy terminations within manufactured housing parks covered by Chapter 205-A.

For Property Managers

Operators of manufactured housing parks subject to N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:5 are expected to include a clear, specific reason for termination in every notice issued to a resident. A compliant notice identifies the factual or legal basis for ending the tenancy rather than leaving that basis unstated or vague. Maintaining thorough documentation of the circumstances underlying the stated reason is a practice commonly associated with well-managed compliance under this chapter.

For Tenants

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:5 gives manufactured housing park residents the right to receive a termination notice that explains why their tenancy is being ended. If a notice lacks any stated reason, that omission may be relevant to challenging the validity of the termination in a legal proceeding. Tenants who receive a notice they believe does not comply with this provision may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to understand the options available to them.
