The petitioner’s argument misconstrues both the trial court’s order and New Hampshire statutory law. Both RSA 540-A:l and :5 limit the application of the definitions therein to RSA chapter 540-A. See RSA 540-A:l, :5 (2007). The trial court’s determination that Metropolis was a landlord under RSA chapter 540-A has no bearing on the petitioner’s contract claims, and the petitioner is mistaken in claiming that, under the *481trial court’s order, the “Defendant, as agent of the lessor, is, by definition, the landlord” in all respects. The petitioner has failed to demonstrate a viable legal basis for the conclusion that because Metropolis was the lessor’s agent, it was thus a party to the lease.
