Property Management

A NH property manager is directed by the owner to refuse to rent to applicants with Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher) assistance. In NH, this instruction:

AIs permissible as owners have the right to choose their tenants
BMay violate NH law, as NH RSA 354-A prohibits discrimination based on source of income in certain contexts✓ Correct
CIs only prohibited in federally subsidized housing
DIs permissible for single-family homes

Explanation

NH RSA 354-A was amended to include source of income as a protected characteristic in housing. Refusing to rent to someone solely because they receive Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) assistance may violate NH fair housing law. Property managers should advise owners of this NH-specific protection.
