N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 358-H: § 358-H:5
Remedies.
Operative Text
I. Any violation of the provisions of this chapter is an unfair or deceptive act or practice within the meaning of RSA 358-A:2. Any right, remedy, or power set forth in RSA 358-A, including those set forth in RSA 358-A:4, II, may be used to enforce the provisions of this chapter. II. The rights, obligations, and remedies provided in this chapter shall be in addition to any other rights, obligations, or remedies provided for by law or in equity.
N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 358-H:5 establishes that any breach of Chapter 358-H's requirements is treated as an unfair or deceptive trade practice under New Hampshire's Consumer Protection Act (RSA 358-A). This means the full range of enforcement tools available under RSA 358-A—including civil penalties and other remedies outlined in RSA 358-A:4, II—can be brought to bear on violations. Importantly, these remedies stack on top of any other legal or equitable rights that may exist, so a violation can be pursued through multiple legal avenues simultaneously.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Chapter 358-H should be aware that § 358-H:5 ties any noncompliance directly to New Hampshire's consumer protection framework, which carries significant civil consequences under RSA 358-A:4, II. Operators who maintain compliant practices generally document their procedures carefully, since a violation can be pursued both as a consumer protection matter and under any other applicable legal theory. Because remedies are cumulative rather than exclusive, the exposure from a single misstep can extend across more than one legal framework.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 358-H:5, tenants whose landlords violate Chapter 358-H have access to the remedies available under New Hampshire's Consumer Protection Act, RSA 358-A, in addition to any other rights provided by law or equity. This provision means a violation can potentially be raised through multiple legal channels, including consumer protection complaints and other civil claims. Tenants exploring their options may find it useful to contact a tenant-rights organization or consult with a legal aid provider familiar with RSA 358-A enforcement.
