North Dakota Landlord-Tenant Laws

It covers the leasing of property, detailing the rights and duties of landlords and tenants. Leases can be fixed-term or periodic, requiring terms like rent, duration, and property details. Landlords must provide a habitable property, and tenants must pay rent and maintain the space. Leases can end by expiration, agreement, or breach, with proper notice required. The law also outlines eviction processes, tenant remedies, and rules for security deposits [1]

  • 30 Days – Landlords must return the deposit within 30 days after the lease ends.
  • Itemized List – Deductions must be itemized and provided to the tenant in writing.
  • Maximum – The security deposit cannot exceed one month’s rent unless a pet deposit is required, in which case the total may not exceed 1.5 months’ rent.[2]
  • Interest on Security Deposits – Landlords are not required to pay interest on security deposits. 

Lease Termination

Summary: Both landlords and tenants can terminate a lease under the following conditions:

  • Landlord’s Ability to Terminate
    • 3-day notice for nonpayment of rent.

  • Tenant’s Ability to Terminate
    • Tenants may terminate for uninhabitable conditions if the landlord is notified and fails to resolve the issue.
    • 30-day notice required for month-to-month leases.

Landlord’s Access to Property

Paying Rent and Late Fees

Summary:

  • Grace Period – North Dakota law does not require a grace period.
  • Maximum Late Fee – Late fees must be “reasonable” and stated in the lease agreement.
