I kind of base it on what they are selling. I have gotten good deals this way on tree removal, because the crane is going to be in the neighborhood anyway, and they will have it for the whole day, so you essentially split the cost of it with your neighbors. I do not trust people selling solar this way, since a lot of solar companies are scams to begin with

My understanding is the Legionnaire's is caused by getting the water droplets in your LUNGS. So when the water or the plumbing has the bacteria present, and you shower there, water droplets are aerosolized and you breathe them in. It's not the drinking water, it's the *inhaled* water. If we are playing hypotheticals, I think you'd need to bring a sun shower type set up and filter the ingoing water.

I'm surprised this wasn't already the case too. The lease has an end date, both parties agreed to it. Having the state force the property owner to extend the lease with the same tenant seems to violate the rights of the property owner. If they don't want to extend it further, seems to me that should be their choice.

This only adds "End of Lease" to the list of legal reasons to evict, yeah? I thought this was already the case, but I guess not.

Tenants would have the same protections as when the landlord is evicting to sell the property. 30 days from notice of eviction the place is empty, minus complications like legal challenges and process limits. Those delays can be applied universally across all situations.

I don't love it, but it could be worse. As it stands, a landlord can simply bump the rent way past affordability and their tenant is out in 60 days (minus complications.)

There are changes that need to be made in our tenant/landlord system and this is certainly a move in the wrong direction.

Here's the actual text from the proposal and where it fits into the existing law:

Proposed bill:

https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=146&inflect=2

1 New Subparagraph; Termination of Tenancy; Expiration of Term. Amend RSA 540:2, II by inserting after subparagraph (g) the following new subparagraph:

(h) For a lease or tenancy the original term of which is 6 months or longer, or for a lease or tenancy the term of which is less than 6 months but which has been renewed for a total period of 6 months or longer, the expiration of the term of the lease or tenancy, provided that the landlord has provided the tenant with written notice at least 30 days in advance of the termination date of the lease term that the lease will not be renewed and that the tenant must vacate the rental property at the end of the lease term.

​

That gets tacked on to:

https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/lv/540/540-2.htm

II. The lessor or owner of restricted property may terminate any tenancy by giving to the tenant or occupant a notice in writing to quit the premises in accordance with RSA 540:3 and 5, but only for one of the following reasons:

LGBT rights in New Hampshire

>Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in the U.S. state of New Hampshire enjoy most of the same rights as non-LGBT residents, with most advances occurring within the past two decades. Same-sex sexual activity is legal in New Hampshire, and the state began offering same-sex couples the option of forming a civil union on January 1, 2008. Civil unions offered most of the same protections as marriages with respect to state law, but not the federal benefits of marriage. Same-sex marriage in New Hampshire has been legally allowed since January 1, 2010, and one year later New Hampshire's civil unions expired, with all such unions converted to marriages.

This map seems like a more trans-specific version of the one the ACLU is using to track anti-LGBTQ+ legislation: https://www.aclu.org/legislative-attacks-on-lgbtq-rights.

NH has some protections on the books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_New_Hampshire, but not as many specific callouts like, say, neighboring Vermont.

A few state legislation bills show up every year trying to roll some of them back, or introduce groundwork for later attempts (like trying to define biological sex in a way that erases intersex people, for instance). Similar to what's happening in other states, though the bills tend to not advance.

Since Roe/Wade was overturned, trans issues seems to be the next big wedge issue everybody can rally around. Hardly anyone knows a trans person, it's very easy to "other" them, and there's an astonishing amount of misinformation out there about it. Kind of sucks, because we've plenty of other problems we could work on in NH that would improve the lives of more people.
