The lease cannot be altered except through another written agreement signed by both parties unless the original lease specifically gives a party the power to change something on their own.
New Hampshire is a fairly landlord-friendly state because there are no rent control policies and the state does not limit certain fees. However, there are relatively strict requirements on the handling of security deposits.
If the tenant refuses, you are permitted to send them a notice to agree or quit the property. The tenant refusing you access constitutes a breach in the lease agreement, so they could be evicted if they continue to deny access.
