My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: New Hampshire
I have a lease/rent to own contract dated 2/07-2/08. I have made several attempts to have the landlord extend the contract or make amendment to it, or even become the mortgage holder. Even though my contract has expired, my landlord and I have a verbal contract extending the contract. I asked the landlord if I was going to have to move due to his current situation and he said no. He will need to put a storage container on the property I lease to own and I agreed. My landlord is loosing his primary residence due to foreclosure. He called me on 5/7 and said I have to move out because he has to move in, then his wife called on 5/8 and left a message stating we needed to discuss the details. I tried getting financing before the end of the contract to help him out, but no financial inst. will touch it because age/type of home. I have a clause in the contract that protects me from breach of contract due to this. I even paid him two months rent one month to help him with legal fees. I need to know if he can evict me, the eviction laws state that they do not apply when a contract is involved. Second, I need to know if he has possessory rights and if he does, is this a housing court issue or a civil court issue. I am disabled and have 3 small children if it makes any difference. I need help ASAP, as I have not replied to his phone calls. The landlord and his family are close friends of mine, so I want to handle everything legally, so there are no hard feelings. Do I have the right to take legal action before he does and if so, is it a civil matter? Please help.
Thank you in advance.
