## 2. Research Findings
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
### Property Profile
|
|
29
|
+
- **Address**: 24 Meadow St, Concord, NH 03301
|
|
30
|
+
- **Owners/Landlords**: Taylor & Katelyn Goodington
|
|
31
|
+
- **Structure**: Single-family home with attached two-bay garage (built 1971)
|
|
32
|
+
- **ADU**: Garage conversion to 1-bedroom accessory dwelling unit with 8-foot rear extension, private entrance
|
|
33
|
+
- **Lead paint trigger**: Original garage construction 1971 (pre-1978) — federal and state lead paint disclosure mandatory
|
|
34
|
+
- **Rental type**: Long-term residential (not short-term/Airbnb)
|
|
35
|
+
- **Owner-occupied**: Owners live in primary residence on same property
|
|
36
|
+
- **Shared elements**: Driveway, yard (boundaries per site diagram), utilities (sub-metering recommended)
|
|
37
|
+
- **ADU legal basis**: NH RSA 674:72 (HB 577, effective July 2025); ZBA variance granted February 2026 for extension
|
|
38
|
+
- **Zoning**: RS District; Concord allows ADUs in all residential districts, no owner-occupancy requirement
|
|
39
|
+
- **Site constraints**: Regulated wetlands at rear, pre-existing in-ground pool, side setback ~5 ft (variance granted)
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
### Statutory Framework
|
|
42
|
+
| Statute | Subject | Key Requirements |
|
|
43
|
+
|---------|---------|-----------------|
|
|
44
|
+
| RSA 540 | Eviction/Termination | 30-day notice (month-to-month); specific grounds during lease term; court process required; no self-help eviction |
|
|
45
|
+
| RSA 540-A | Security Deposits | Max = 1 month's rent or $100 (whichever greater); separate NH escrow account; written receipt with bank name/account within 30 days; pay interest; return within 30 days with itemized deductions |
|
|
46
|
+
| RSA 540-B | Lead Paint | Pre-1978: EPA disclosure form required; tenant receives "Protect Your Family" pamphlet; disclosure addendum in lease; disclose known hazards; failure = tenant can void lease + damages |
|
|
47
|
+
| RSA 674:72 | ADU Authorization | Municipality cannot prohibit ADU; separate dwelling unit = separate lease appropriate |
|
|
48
|
+
| 42 USC 4852d | Federal Lead Paint | Disclosure required for pre-1978 housing; violation = treble damages [VERIFY: confirm treble damages provision] |
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
### Required Disclosures
|
|
51
|
+
1. Lead paint disclosure + pamphlet (pre-1978 — MANDATORY)
|
|
52
|
+
2. Security deposit bank name and account number (within 30 days of receipt)
|
|
53
|
+
3. Name and address of landlord or authorized agent
|
|
54
|
+
4. Utility responsibility disclosure
|
|
55
|
+
5. Radon disclosure (recommended) [VERIFY: confirm whether Concord has local radon disclosure ordinance]
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
### Identified Risks
|
|
58
|
+
1. **Lead Paint Compliance Failure** (HIGH) — 1971 structure triggers mandatory federal and state disclosure
|
|
59
|
+
2. **Security Deposit Mishandling** (HIGH) — RSA 540-A strict procedural requirements; first-time landlords frequently violate
|
|
60
|
+
3. **Shared Space Disputes** (MEDIUM) — proximity of landlord and tenant on same property
|
|
61
|
+
4. **Utility Cost Disputes** (MEDIUM) — if not sub-metered, allocation will be contentious
|
|
62
|
+
5. **Short-Term Rental Misuse** (LOW-MEDIUM) — tenant could attempt Airbnb subletting
|
|
63
|
+
6. **Landlord Entry Disputes** (LOW-MEDIUM) — same-property landlord creates over-access risk
|
|
64
|

|

|
|
67
|
+
## 3. Approach
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
Draft a comprehensive residential lease agreement as a single primary document with clearly labeled sections plus mandatory exhibits and addenda. The lease is specifically tailored for an ADU on an owner-occupied property in Concord, NH.
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
**Document Structure**:
|
|
72
|
+
1. **Primary Lease Agreement** — all terms organized by subject matter (~25 numbered sections)
|
|
73
|
+
2. **Exhibit A** — Legal description of premises (ADU unit)
|
|
74
|
+
3. **Exhibit B** — Site diagram showing ADU boundaries, parking, shared areas, exclusive areas
|
|
75
|
+
4. **Exhibit C** — Move-in/Move-out Condition Checklist
|
|
76
|
+
5. **Addendum 1** — Lead Paint Disclosure (EPA standard form, required by law)
|
|
77
|
+
6. **Addendum 2** — Pet Agreement (executed separately when applicable)
|
|
78
|
+
7. **Addendum 3** — Property Rules for Shared Spaces
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
**Key Structural Choices**:
|
|
81
|
+
- 12-month fixed term auto-converting to month-to-month after expiration
|
|
82
|
+
- Utility provisions drafted with placeholder supporting both sub-metered and included-in-rent; sub-metering recommended during construction
|
|
83
|
+
- Site diagram exhibit (Exhibit B) defining exclusive vs. common areas
|
|
84
|
+
- Case-by-case pet approval with monthly pet rent when approved
|
|
85
|
+
- Mandatory mediation before court action (except nonpayment and emergency)
|
|
86
|
+
- Renter's insurance required ($100K liability minimum, landlord as additional interested party)
|
|
87
|
+
- Explicit short-term rental and subletting prohibition
|
|
88
|
+
- 24-hour landlord entry notice with enumerated reasons
|
|

## 4. Decisions Made
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
### Decision 1: Lease Term Structure
|
|
95
|
+
- **Options Considered**: (A) 12-month fixed converting to month-to-month; (B) 12-month fixed with renewal option; (C) Month-to-month from inception
|
|
96
|
+
- **User's Choice**: **Option A** — 12-month fixed term, auto-converting to month-to-month
|
|
97
|
+
- **Rationale**: Market standard for NH residential leases. Provides first-year income stability while preserving flexibility. 30-day notice to terminate after conversion per RSA 540.
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
### Decision 2: Utility Allocation Method
|
|
100
|
+
- **Options Considered**: (A) Sub-metered, tenant pays directly; (B) Utilities included in rent; (C) Proportional split formula; (D) Draft with placeholder supporting both A and B
|
|
101
|
+
- **User's Choice**: **Option D, targeting Option A** — Draft with placeholder supporting both sub-metered and included-in-rent; recommend sub-metering during construction
|
|
102
|
+
- **Rationale**: Construction decisions not yet final. Template accommodates either approach. Sub-metering during construction is far cheaper than retrofit and eliminates allocation disputes.
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
### Decision 3: Shared Space Boundary Definition
|
|
105
|
+
- **Options Considered**: (A) Metes-and-bounds description; (B) General description with site diagram exhibit; (C) No exclusive yard area
|
|
106
|
+
- **User's Choice**: **Option B** — Site diagram exhibit (Exhibit B) showing exclusive vs. common areas
|
|
107
|
+
- **Rationale**: Visual clarity reduces disputes. More practical than legalistic metes-and-bounds. Diagram clearly delineates ADU exclusive area (entrance, parking, patio) vs. common driveway vs. owner's exclusive areas.
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
### Decision 4: Pet Policy
|
|
110
|
+
- **Options Considered**: (A) No pets; (B) Pets allowed with pet deposit; (C) Pets allowed with monthly pet rent; (D) Case-by-case approval
|
|
111
|
+
- **User's Choice**: **Option D + C** — Case-by-case pet approval with monthly pet rent when approved
|
|
112
|
+
- **Rationale**: Preserves landlord flexibility for new unit. Monthly pet rent avoids NH security deposit cap complications. Separate pet addendum executed per approved pet.
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
### Decision 5: Dispute Resolution Mechanism
|
|
115
|
+
- **Options Considered**: (A) Direct to court; (B) Mandatory mediation before court; (C) Binding arbitration
|
|
116
|
+
- **User's Choice**: **Option B** — Mandatory mediation before court, except nonpayment and emergency
|
|
117
|
+
- **Rationale**: Landlord and tenant share a property and will interact daily. Mediation protects the relationship and is cheaper. Nonpayment and safety exceptions preserve landlord's ability to act quickly when necessary.
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
### Decision 6: Renter's Insurance Requirement
|
|
120
|
+
- **Options Considered**: (A) Required with minimum coverage; (B) Recommended but not required
|
|
121
|
+
- **User's Choice**: **Option A** — Renter's insurance required, $100K liability minimum, landlord as additional interested party
|
|
122
|
+
- **Rationale**: Standard practice, low cost to tenant ($15-30/month), protects both parties. Landlord as additional interested party ensures notification if policy lapses.

constitutes an imminent threat to the Property.

9.3 Emergency Entry. Landlord may enter the Premises without

722
|

leashing when in Common Areas;
|
|
723

neighbors;
|
|
730

12. INSURANCE
|
|
757
|
+
|
|
758
|
+
12.1 Renter's Insurance Required. Tenant shall obtain and
|
|
759
|
+
maintain throughout the Lease Term a renter's insurance policy
|
|
760
|
+
("Tenant's Insurance Policy") with the following minimum
|
|
761
|
+
coverage:
|
|
762
|
+
(a) Personal property coverage: [BLANK: amount, e.g.,
|
|
763
|
+
$30,000] (recommended);
|
|
764
|
+
(b) Personal liability coverage: not less than one hundred
|
|
765
|
+
thousand dollars ($100,000.00);
|
|
766
|
+
(c) Additional living expenses / loss of use coverage
|

767
|
+
(recommended but not required).
|
|
768
|
+
|
|
769
|
+
12.2 Additional Interested Party. Tenant's Insurance Policy
|
|
770
|
+
shall name Landlord (Taylor Goodington and Katelyn
|
|
771
|
+
Goodington) as an "Additional Interested Party" (not as an
|
|
772
|
+
"Additional Insured"). This designation ensures that Landlord
|
|
773
|
+
receives notice from the insurance carrier if the policy is
|
|
774
|
+
cancelled, non-renewed, or materially changed.
|
|
775
|
+
|
|
776
|
+
12.3 Proof of Insurance. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a
|
|
777
|
+
certificate of insurance or declarations page evidencing the
|
|
778
|
+
required coverage:
|
|
779
|
+
(a) Prior to or on the Commencement Date;
|
|
780
|
+
(b) Upon each renewal of the policy; and
|
|
781
|
+
(c) Within five (5) days of Landlord's written request.
|
|
782
|
+
|
|
783
|
+
12.4 Failure to Maintain. If Tenant fails to maintain the
|
|
784
|
+
required insurance, Landlord may provide written notice of
|
|
785
|
+
the deficiency. If Tenant does not provide proof of compliant
|
|
786
|
+
coverage within fifteen (15) days of such notice, the failure
|
|
787
|
+
shall constitute a material breach of this Lease.
|
|
788
|
+
|
|
789
|
+
12.5 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall maintain property
|
|
790
|
+
insurance covering the structure of the Premises. Landlord's
|
|
791
|
+
insurance does not cover Tenant's personal property. Tenant
|
|
792
|
+
acknowledges that Landlord's insurance policy does not provide
|
|
793
|
+
coverage for Tenant's belongings, liability, or additional
|
|
794
|
+
living expenses.

|

1711
