*594The majority contends that, under its interpretation of RSA 540:2, II, a landlord “is not forced into a perpetual landlord-tenant relationship.” To the contrary, under the majority’s interpretation, a landlord with a lease of a specified term is obliged to continue the tenancy absent some other “good cause.” See Franklin Tower One, L.L.C. v. N.M., 725 A.2d 1104, 1110 (N.J. 1999). Under the majority’s interpretation, lease provisions purporting to limit the lease to a specified duration have no meaning. The effect of the majority’s interpretation “is to create a perpetual tenancy, virtually a life interest, in favor of a tenant of [restricted property] covered by [the statute].” J.M.J. Properties v. Khuzam, 839 A.2d 102, 106 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 2004) (quotations omitted). I do not believe that was the intent of RSA 540:2.
