New Hampshire HB1171 provides a 90-day grace period for tenants facing eviction due to an unexpected halt in Social Security payments.

New Hampshire HB1171 amends RSA 540:3 to introduce a new provision allowing residential tenants a 90-day grace period if they fail to pay rent due to an unanticipated halt in their monthly Social Security payments. This grace period allows tenants to seek alternative shelter or funding. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
