Just cause eviction rules in Horace, ND — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
North Dakota Century Code Chapter 47-32 governs eviction actions uniformly statewide. North Dakota does not require just cause for non-renewal, and landlords may terminate month-to-month tenancies with proper notice under N.D.C.C. 47-16-15.
Eviction (called summary eviction) procedures in North Dakota are governed by N.D.C.C. ch. 47-32 and apply uniformly across the state. Landlords must serve a three-day notice to quit for nonpayment of rent or material lease violations under N.D.C.C. 47-32-01. Month-to-month tenancies may be terminated by either party with 30 days written notice under N.D.C.C. 47-16-15, without stating cause. North Dakota does not have a just-cause eviction statute, and the state's general preemption of landlord-tenant matters means cities cannot impose local just-cause requirements that conflict with state procedure.
Landlords using self-help eviction (lockouts, utility shutoffs) face damages under N.D.C.C. 47-16-13.5, including actual damages plus attorney fees and possible treble damages.
