A North Dakota-compliant lease with every disclosure the state requires built in, not bolted on — 3 state-specific clauses plus 11 universal ones. Fill it in, e-sign it, and it lives with the tenant record.
North Dakota caps deposits at one month’s rent for most tenants and separately allows a pet deposit of up to $2,500 or two months’ rent (N.D.C.C. § 47-16-07.1). Deposits must be held in an interest-bearing account and returned with interest within 30 days.
These are the clauses and disclosures our North Dakota template carries. Each cites the statute it comes from; the ones marked checkbox are filled from your property's answers.
