What is the "lock-out" process if any, for a tenant without a resigned lease? (eviction, renew)

[Mandy Maloney]

I currently have a tenant who has not re-signed/updated his lease (should have done so in June) and has not fully paid his rent for the month of October (still owes $250) and has not paid Novembers rent either. ($1000)
I'm fully aware of the typical eviction process in the state of NH but what rights do I have at this point in a "lock-out"/kicking him out since he does not have a signed/renewed lease?

No, I don't believe so. He is a "holdover" tenant. Look at NH's laws on holdover tenants, but I think you still have to evict them. I could be wrong, of course.

None what you seek does not exist in any state.

Lock him out and you will get sued .

Once the lease wasn't renewed and you basically did nothing about that, the tenant automatically went to a month to month agreement under the same terms and conditions of the original lease. You should find the answers to your questions here:

New Hampshire Landlord Tenant Law

And no, you cannot lock him out but must abide by the laws.

Anyone want to start a pool for what brand of big screen TV he's getting?

Then follow them. You have a M2M tenant at this point.

but what rights do I have at this point in a "lock-out"/kicking him out...

None whatsoever.
Start with the "pay or quit".

since he does not have a signed/renewed lease?

He is under no obligation to renew his lease.

Many LL's prefer to have tenants "roll over" into a M2M tenancy after the initial lease period expires;
the T's still have to pay rent though.
