Scroll the table sideways to see every column.
| claim | free route | statute |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord & tenant a landlord keeping my deposit | — | N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 540-A:7 |
| Employment unpaid overtime | The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour inspection office takes an online wage claim, and it administers the state Minimum Wage Law, RSA 279, along with the payment-of-wages rules in Administrative Rule Chapter Lab 800.↗ | — |
| Consumer a debt collector harassing me | Two offices, and they do different things. The Banking Department takes a written complaint about a licensee, reviews whether it has jurisdiction, forwards the complaint to the company and acknowledges it to you. For debt collection specifically the Department of Justice's Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau is the office that handles it. Neither costs anything.↗ | — |
| Employment being fired for complaining | Your EEOC deadline here is 300 days and not the 180 you will read almost everywhere, because the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights exists — that agency is the whole of what triggers the extension in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1). RSA 354-A:21 gives you 180 days for the state complaint, four months less than the federal window, and that is the date to plan around. Work back from the state date. Meet that one and the federal one takes care of itself.↗ | — |
| Injury a car accident | — | RSA 508:4 |
