Rent, late fees & rent increases

  • Late fees — North Dakota has no statutory late-fee cap or mandatory grace period; the lease controls, and a fee should be a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s loss. A 2025 bill to cap late fees at 8% of rent (SB 2236) did not become law.
  • Payment-method fees — A landlord may not charge a fee to accept cash, a check or a money order for rent or any other payment due under the lease (§47-16-20.1).
  • Rent increases — For a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord may change the rent or other terms, effective at the end of a month, by written notice given at least 30 days before the month ends (§47-16-07). The tenant may then end the tenancy at the end of the month with at least 25 days’ notice (§47-16-15(3)).
  • Rent control — No political subdivision may enact or enforce an ordinance controlling the amount of rent for private residential property (§47-16-02.1).

North Dakota Late Rent Notice FAQs

Is there a cap on late fees in North Dakota?

No. North Dakota sets no statutory late-fee cap or grace period — a proposed 8% cap failed in 2025. Landlords may not, however, charge a fee to accept rent paid by cash, check or money order (N.D.C.C. §47-16-20.1).

What eviction notice is required in North Dakota?

Three days’ written notice of intention to evict before filing, for nonpayment of rent, holding over after the lease ends, or a material breach of a written lease (N.D.C.C. §§47-32-01, 47-32-02).
