VII. Other than residential real estate under RSA 540-A:4, VII(c) or RSA 540-B, a landlord shall maintain and exercise reasonable care in the storage of the personal property of a tenant who has vacated the premises, either voluntarily or by eviction, for a period of 7 days after the date upon which such tenant has vacated. During this period, the tenant shall be allowed to recover personal property without payment of rent or storage fees. After the 7-day limit has expired, such personal property may be disposed of by the landlord without notice to the tenant.
VIII. Prior to collecting any fee as part of the rental application or renewal process, the landlord shall clearly disclose, in writing to prospective tenants, the amount of the fee and the requirement for a satisfactory criminal background and credit check, if any. If such fee is collected from an applicant, but the unit is not rented to that applicant, the landlord shall return any amount beyond the actual cost of the documented background check, credit check, and/or reasonable administrative costs to the applicant within 30 days of receipt. Nothing in this paragraph shall require the landlord to conduct a criminal background or credit check or prohibit the landlord from renting to an applicant who does not pass the criminal background or credit check.
IX. No person or legal entity, that is not a tenant, subtenant, or implied tenant, as defined in RSA 540-A:1, II, shall occupy residential real estate without permission of the owner, landlord, or their agent.
