Appeal of Ashland Elec. Dept., 141 N.H. 336, 341, 682 A.2d 710, 713 (1996) (quotations and citation omitted). It would be absurd to interpret the statute to encompass within the term “residential *399premises” a large commercial property containing only modest living quarters. See Shwachman v. Khoroshansky, 448 N.E.2d 409, 411 (Mass. App. Ct. 1983) (trial court did not err in ruling that statute, which by its terms pertained to residential property, was not intended to apply to leases that are primarily commercial and only incidently residential).
