What a Tenant Has to Do
N.D.C.C. § 47-16-13.2 — keep the unit clean and safe, use it reasonably, and not disturb the neighbors
- Comply with the code obligations that fall on tenants and keep the part of the premises the tenant uses as clean and safe as its condition allows.
- Remove garbage regularly, and keep plumbing fixtures clean.
- Use the electrical, plumbing, heating and other facilities in a reasonable manner.
- Not deliberately or negligently damage the premises, or knowingly let anyone else.
- Behave, and require guests to behave, in a way that does not disturb the neighbors' peaceful enjoyment.
Unreasonably disturbing other tenants, or breaking a material term of a written lease, is itself ground for eviction.
