New Hampshire HB1612 prohibits landlords from using price-fixing software, classifying it as an unfair method of competition and deceptive practice.

New Hampshire HB1612 amends RSA 358-A by adding a new section that bans landlords from using price-fixing websites, algorithms, or software. Such use is deemed an unfair method of competition and a deceptive act or practice. Individuals suspecting a landlord of using such software can file a complaint with the Department of Justice's Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau, which is mandated to investigate these complaints. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
