Q: I paid all past dues before a Writ of Possession, but lessor is refusing to notify the court?Is this not correct of them
I have asked multiple times for them to submit a receipt of payment and dismissal but they are not doing this. I have also paid to terminate the lease as well which I am unsure I needed to do. Additionally, I am read under NH law under “agreements” of which we made and I have on record via email, that all payments that satisfy past dues must be disclosed and submitted to the court by the lessor. Is this not true?
A:
It sounds like you're in a frustrating situation, having fulfilled your financial obligations and still facing challenges with your lessor. If you've paid all past dues and even the cost to terminate the lease, you should expect that these actions be acknowledged and appropriately documented.
Under New Hampshire law, any agreements made between you and your lessor, especially those that are documented through emails or other written communications, are generally considered binding. If these agreements included settling past dues which should lead to the dismissal of any legal actions such as a Writ of Possession, your lessor typically has the responsibility to inform the court about these updates.
Since your lessor has not yet notified the court despite your requests, it might be beneficial to directly submit proof of payment and any correspondence confirming your agreement to the court yourself. Additionally, consulting with a legal professional could provide you with specific guidance tailored to your situation and help ensure your rights are fully protected. This could include possibly compelling the lessor through legal means to adhere to the agreement you both entered into.
