N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A: § 205-A:9
The provisions of RSA 540 shall apply to tenancies in manufactured housing parks except where such application would produce a result inconsistent with or contrary to the provisions of this chapter.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 205-A:9 establishes that the general landlord-tenant eviction and tenancy statute, RSA 540, serves as a backdrop law for manufactured housing park tenancies in New Hampshire. Where RSA 540's rules do not conflict with the more specific protections and procedures in RSA Chapter 205-A, those general rules apply. When a conflict exists between the two, the manufactured housing park chapter controls.

For Property Managers

Under § 205-A:9, operators of manufactured housing parks in New Hampshire must be familiar with both RSA Chapter 205-A and the general tenancy statute, RSA 540. Compliant park operators apply RSA 540 procedures—such as notice requirements and eviction processes—unless a specific provision of Chapter 205-A addresses the same matter differently. Reviewing both statutes together helps ensure that park management practices align with whichever rule governs a given situation.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section 205-A:9 means that residents of New Hampshire manufactured housing parks may be able to rely on protections found in the general tenancy law, RSA 540, in addition to the specific rights granted by RSA Chapter 205-A. Where the two statutes overlap or conflict, Chapter 205-A's provisions generally take precedence, which can affect notice periods, eviction procedures, and other tenancy rights. Tenants who believe a park operator is not following the applicable rules may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with both RSA 540 and Chapter 205-A.
