HB 444 New Hampshire House · 2025 Regular Session

relative to a tenant's right to notification prior to the sale of a multi-family home.

HB 444 requires landlords of multi-family residential properties (like apartment buildings) to provide tenants with 45 days' written notice before finalizing a sale, and gives tenants the opportunity to make a purchase offer matching any third-party offer. This directly affects tenants living in multi-unit housing when their landlord plans to sell the property. The key mechanism is the mandatory 45-day notice period plus the right to submit a purchase offer, ensuring tenants have time to consider buying the property they reside in. The bill aims to provide tenants with greater stability and opportunity during property sales.
