Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Hampshire
Lease Renewal
My landlord just called and said she want�s to raise my rent next year. I haven�t been looking for another apartment and there is not much time left. She has another person who would like my apartment, but I don�t want to say that I will or will not renew the lease until I�ve had a chance to look for alternatives.
How much time does she have to give me by law? What are the laws concerning lease renewal? Do I, as a current tenant, have first shot at next year's lease over another prospective renter? Is there a time before which a landlord may not enter into "next year's" lease agreement unless I specifically state I intend to Not renew?

Re: Lease Renewal
The required notice dates for renewal / non-renewal should be in the lease. Read that first!
Unless what's in the lease is an unusually short or unusually long period of time, it's probably legal.
Good luck.
