Even assuming, without deciding, that RSA 540:11, calling for termination by the lessee to be “in the same manner as the lessor,” mandates application of the minimum thirty-day notice requirement for evictions under RSA 540:3 to lease termination by lessees, the petitioner’s argument fails. If a lessor must give a minimum of thirty days’ notice to the lessee before terminating a lease, then it would follow that the lessee must similarly give a minimum of thirty days’ notice to the lessor for termination to be “in the same manner.” Nothing in RSA chapter 540 prevents parties to a lease from agreeing to a longer notice period than that provided by the statute to secure greater protection for themselves. Because the lease term requiring sixty days’ notice to terminate the lease does not conflict with the provisions of RSA chapter 540, as argued by the petitioner, it is enforceable.
