However, the trial court did not rely upon that statute, nor could it. RSA 540:13, VII (2007) “affirmatively creates a safe harbor for landlords [evicting tenants for non-payment of rent]... [to] accept rental arrearages from tenants without thereby creating a new tenancy.” Miller, 150 N.H. at 660 (emphasis added). It provides that as long as “a tenant who makes such a payment does so with notice that the payment will not stop the eviction proceeding,” the landlord may accept rental arrearages without creating a new tenancy. Id.; see RSA 540:13, VII. This provision is inapplicable to a landlord’s acceptance of future rent. Miller, 150 N.H. at 660. Affirmed.
