When landlord may enter apartment
N.D. Cent. Code § 47-16-07.3
in effect47-16-07.3. When landlord may enter apartment
A landlord may enter the dwelling unit:
1. At any time in case of emergency or if the landlord reasonably believes the tenant has
abandoned the premises, or the landlord reasonably believes the tenant is in
substantial violation of the provisions of the lease or rental agreement.
2. Only during reasonable hours, and in a reasonable manner, for the purpose of
inspecting the premises; for making necessary or agreed repairs, decorations,
alterations, or improvements; for supplying necessary or agreed services; or for
exhibiting the residential dwelling unit to actual or potential purchasers, insurers,
mortgagees, real estate agents, tenants, workmen, or contractors. Unless it is
impractical to do so the landlord shall first notify and receive the consent of the tenant
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, which consent shall identify a time certain. A
landlord shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harass or intimidate the tenant.
For the purposes of this section, consent shall be presumed from failure to object to access
after notice of intent to enter at a time certain has been given. Notice may be given by personal
service, by posting the notice in a conspicuous place in or about the dwelling unit for a
reasonable period of time, or by any other method which results in actual notice to the tenant.
