Eviction Moratorium has Ended in Most Counties – But Help is Available
The Centers for Disease Control eviction moratorium ended in July 31, 2021 in all counties except for Rockingham, Hillsborough, and Strafford Counties. The Circuit Court is preparing to restart eviction cases that were put on hold and expects to hold hearings in most cases that were paused by the moratorium in other counties by August 11, 2021. If you are a landlord or a tenant who wishes to avoid eviction proceedings due to late payment of rent, federal funds may be available through the New Hampshire Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
- Evictions are paused in Rockingham, Hillsborough, and Strafford Counties for evictions where a declaration has been provided to the landlord. See more at the press release.
- To learn more about NHERAP and to start an application, go to CAPNH.org or call 2-1-1 to be connected to your local Community Action Program, which will process your application.
- For more information about landlord and tenant cases generally, parties can visit the Circuit Court’s landlord and tenant website or read the press release
