N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A: § 205-A:12
Any police department or agency, or the consumer protection and antitrust bureau of the department of justice may bring an action to enforce the provisions of this chapter.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:12, enforcement of the manufactured housing park regulations in Chapter 205-A is not limited to a single agency. Both local police departments and the state's consumer protection and antitrust bureau within the Department of Justice are authorized to bring legal action to enforce the chapter's requirements. This dual-track enforcement structure means that violations may be pursued through either local law enforcement or a state-level consumer protection authority.

For Property Managers

Operators of manufactured housing parks subject to N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:12 should be aware that compliance with Chapter 205-A can be enforced by more than one authority. A compliant operator generally maintains practices that satisfy the chapter's requirements, recognizing that both local police agencies and the state consumer protection and antitrust bureau have independent authority to initiate enforcement actions. Keeping thorough records of park operations and communications with residents is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating ongoing compliance.

For Tenants

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:12 gives tenants in manufactured housing parks the benefit of multiple enforcement channels if the chapter's protections are violated. Residents may report potential violations to their local police department or to the consumer protection and antitrust bureau of the New Hampshire Department of Justice, either of which can bring a formal enforcement action. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with manufactured housing law can help residents understand which avenue may be appropriate for a given concern.
