7 days nonpayment notice.
Nonpayment requires a 7-day eviction notice; lease violations generally require a 30-day notice. New Hampshire requires good cause to evict.
What this means for you: Paying the rent owed (plus $15) before the deadline can stop a nonpayment eviction.
Your next step: Note the 7-day deadline and the right to cure by payment.
