+ ## 1. Task Reference
11
+
12
+ **Plan Task**: Task 1 — Draft Residential Lease Agreement
13
+ **Output File**: `deliverables/01_lease_agreement.md`
14
+
15
+ **Acceptance Criteria**:
16
+ 1. Lease complies with NH RSA 540 and 540-A requirements
17
+ 2. Lead paint disclosure included (pre-1978 structure)
18
+ 3. Security deposit terms within NH statutory limits
19
+ 4. ADU-specific provisions address shared property boundaries
20
+ 5. All required NH landlord disclosures present
21
+
22
+ **Dependencies**: None
23
+
24
+ ---
25
+
26
+ ## 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
+
65
+ ---
66
+
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
89
+
90
+ ---
91
+
92
+ ## 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.

698
+ without Landlord's prior written approval. Approval is
699
+ granted on a case-by-case basis and may be withheld at
700
+ Landlord's sole discretion. Approval of one pet does not
701
+ constitute approval of any additional or replacement pets.
702
+
703
+ 11.2 Pet Approval Process. Tenant shall submit a written pet
704
+ request to Landlord describing the pet (species, breed, size,
705
+ weight, age, temperament). Landlord shall respond in writing
706
+ within fourteen (14) days. If approved, the Parties shall
707
+ execute a Pet Addendum (Addendum 2) specific to the approved
708
+ pet.
709
+
710
+ 11.3 Pet Rent. If a pet is approved, Tenant shall pay additional
711
+ monthly pet rent of [BLANK: pet rent amount, e.g., $25-$50]
712

+ Rent.
715
+
716
+ 11.4 Pet Owner Responsibilities. For any approved pet, Tenant
717
+ shall:
718
+ (a) Comply with all applicable state and local animal
719
+ control ordinances, including licensing and vaccination
720
+ requirements;
721
+ (b) Keep the pet under control at all times, including
722
+ leashing when in Common Areas;
723
+ (c) Immediately clean up after the pet in all areas of the
724
+ Property;
725
+ (d) Prevent the pet from causing damage to the Premises,
726
+ Common Areas, or Landlord's property;
727
+ (e) Ensure the pet does not create a nuisance (excessive
728
+ barking, aggressive behavior, odor) to Landlord or
729
+ neighbors;
730
+ (f) Be liable for all damage caused by the pet, beyond
731
+ normal wear and tear;
732
+ (g) Maintain liability coverage for the pet under Tenant's
733
+ renter's insurance policy.
734
+
735
+ 11.5 Revocation. Landlord may revoke pet approval upon thirty
736
+ (30) days' written notice if the pet causes material damage
737
+ to the Premises, creates a nuisance, or poses a safety risk.
738
+ Tenant shall remove the pet from the Premises within the
739
+ notice period or be in material breach of this Lease.

742
+ apply to service animals or assistance animals as defined
743

754

756
+ 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);

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

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.
