North Dakota Month-to-Month Lease Agreement Template

Minimum Termination: The landlord or tenant must provide at least one month’s written notice to terminate a month-to-month lease, unless both parties sign an agreement specifying a longer notice period (§ 47-16-15(2)). If a landlord proposes a rent increase, a tenant who refuses the new rate can legally terminate the lease at the end of the month with just 25 days’ written notice (§ 47-16-15(3)).

Increasing Rent: State law explicitly bans rent control, meaning North Dakota does not cap how much or how often a landlord may raise the rent (§ 47-16-02.1). For standard month-to-month tenancies, landlords must provide written notice of an increase at least 30 days prior to the month in which the new rent takes effect (§ 47-16-07).

• Exception for Mobile Home Parks: If the tenant is renting a lot in a mobile home park on a month-to-month basis, state law mandates a strict 90-day written notice before any rent increase can take effect (§ 47-10-28(7)).
