On appeal, the plaintiffs argue that the trial court lacked the authority to deny the eviction sought and to order the affirmative relief it did. They note that an eviction proceeding under RSA chapter 540 is a summary possessory action, and argue that the trial court’s authority to grant relief is limited to that prescribed by the statute. They also note that their writ sought only possession — they made no claim for past-due rent and the defendant filed no counterclaims.
