New Hampshire issues executive order prohibiting evictions and foreclosures

State Issues Covid-19 New Hampshire Mortgages

On March 17, the New Hampshire governor issued an emergency order temporarily prohibiting evictions and foreclosures. All judicial and non-judicial foreclosure actions are prohibited during the declared State of Emergency, and all applicable provisions of any law, rule, or other regulation which would allow for the initiation of foreclosure proceedings are suspended for the same duration. However, the order does not relieve an individual of their obligations to pay rent, make mortgage payments, or any other obligation which an individual may have under a tenancy or mortgage.
