Finally, the defendant draws our attention to the plaintiff’s signed lease,
which identifies the property as “a shared facility per NH RSA 540-B.”
However, the defendant’s reliance upon this language is unavailing. RSA
540:28 (2021) provides that “[n]o lease or rental agreement . . . shall contain
any provision by which a tenant waives any of his rights under this chapter,
and any such waiver shall be null and void.” RSA 540:28. By inaccurately
classifying the property as a shared facility, the lease deprived the plaintiff of
her rights as a tenant, specifically her right to the protections of the eviction
process set forth in RSA chapter 540. Accordingly, we conclude that the
provision of the parties’ lease identifying the property as a shared facility is
“null and void.” RSA 540:28.
