New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, a landlord may not willfully fail to investigate (look into) a tenant's report. The report may be of insects, bed bugs included, or rodents in the home. The deadline is 7 days from receiving notice. The notice can come from the tenant or a municipal health or housing code authority. The landlord may not fail to take reasonable measures to remediate (fix) an infestation (a pest problem).
