N.D. Cent. Code § 41-02.1-30
in effect41-02.1-30. (2A-221) Casualty to identified goods
If a lease contract requires goods identified when the lease contract is made, and the goods
suffer casualty without fault of the lessee, the lessor or the supplier before delivery, or the goods
suffer casualty before risk of loss passes to the lessee under the lease agreement or section
41-02.1-28, then:
1. If the loss is total, the lease contract is avoided.
2. If the loss is partial or the goods have so deteriorated as to no longer conform to the
lease contract, the lessee may nevertheless demand inspection and at the lessee's
option either treat the lease contract as avoided or, except in a finance lease that is not
a consumer lease, accept the goods with due allowance from the rent payable for the
balance of the lease term for the deterioration or the deficiency in quantity but without
further right against the lessor.
