Property Management
Under NH law, when a residential lease expires and the landlord sends a new lease with higher rent, the tenant who continues paying the old rent is considered a:
ATrespasser
BHoldover tenant at sufferance (or month-to-month at the old rent if the landlord accepts payments)✓ Correct
CTenant under the terms of the new lease
DTenant with a right to remain for 12 more months
Explanation
If a tenant holds over after lease expiration and the landlord accepts rent, a month-to-month tenancy is typically created on the existing terms. Acceptance of the old rent without a new agreement does not force the new lease terms on the tenant.
