N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 540-B: § 540-B:5
Service of Notice.
Operative Text
I. The owner or agent of the owner of a shared facility shall give the notice of termination personally to the occupant or attach the notice to the primary entrance to the occupant's separated area. II. The occupant shall give the notice of termination by the same method used to pay rent or in accordance with any written rental agreement.
New Hampshire statute N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 540-B:5 establishes how termination notices must be delivered in shared-facility living arrangements. An owner or their agent must either hand the notice directly to the occupant or physically attach it to the main entrance of the occupant's private area. When an occupant wishes to terminate, they must deliver their notice using the same method they normally use to pay rent, or follow whatever delivery method is spelled out in a written rental agreement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 540-B:5, compliant operators of shared facilities generally ensure that termination notices are delivered either in person directly to the occupant or posted on the primary entrance to the occupant's separated living area. Operators typically document the method and timing of delivery to create a clear record that the statutory requirements were met. Reviewing any written rental agreement beforehand helps confirm whether additional notice procedures apply.

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 540-B:5 sets out the methods by which an owner must deliver a termination notice to you in a shared-facility arrangement — either personally or affixed to the main entrance of your private area. If a notice was not delivered by one of these two methods, that procedural defect may be relevant to any eviction proceeding and could be raised as a defense. Tenants who have questions about whether proper notice was given can reach out to a local tenant-rights organization or New Hampshire Legal Aid for general guidance.
