N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 358-A: § 358-A:9

Plain English

Under N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 358-A:9, when a corporation repeatedly violates court injunctions issued under the state's consumer protection law, a court has the authority to impose severe corporate penalties. These penalties can include dissolving the corporation entirely, suspending its operations, or stripping a foreign corporation of its right to conduct business in New Hampshire. The provision applies specifically to habitual violations, meaning a pattern of non-compliance rather than a single incident.

For Property Managers

Property management companies and corporate landlords operating in New Hampshire should be aware that § 358-A:9 empowers courts to take drastic action against entities that repeatedly defy consumer protection injunctions. A compliant corporate operator generally ensures that any injunctions issued under RSA 358-A:4, III are strictly and promptly followed to avoid escalating enforcement. Habitual non-compliance can ultimately threaten the corporation's very ability to operate in the state.

For Tenants

If a corporate landlord has been subject to consumer protection injunctions and continues to violate them, § 358-A:9 provides a mechanism through which the Attorney General can petition a court to dissolve, suspend, or revoke the corporation's right to do business in New Hampshire. Tenants who believe a corporate landlord is repeatedly violating such injunctions may consider contacting the New Hampshire Attorney General's Consumer Protection Bureau to report the pattern of conduct. Tenant-rights organizations can also help explain how this provision fits into broader consumer protection enforcement options.
