New Hampshire: deposit (or itemized deductions) due within 30 days.
Add your move-out date to see the deadline.
- Counted from the date the tenancy ends. The landlord must return the deposit with any interest due, plus an itemized list of any damage deductions.
- Give the landlord your new address in writing: a landlord who couldn't return the deposit because you gave no address is protected. A deposit left unclaimed 6 months after the tenancy ends goes to the landlord.
- If the landlord doesn't comply, you can recover twice the deposit plus interest, less amounts properly owed.
