When the Landlord Can Come In

N.D.C.C. § 47-16-07.3 — at reasonable hours, after notice and consent for a time certain, or any time in an emergency

  • Any time in an emergency, or on a reasonable belief that the tenant has abandoned the unit or is in substantial violation of the lease.
  • Otherwise only at reasonable hours and in a reasonable manner, to inspect, repair, supply services, or show the unit.
  • Unless impractical, the landlord first notifies the tenant and gets consent for a time certain, which may not be unreasonably withheld; no objection after notice counts as consent.
  • The right of access may not be abused or used to harass or intimidate the tenant.
