What the statute says about unpaid rent
Eviction lies once rent is three days late, and the landlord must then give three days' written notice of intention to evict before filing. The statute gives the tenant no right to stop the case by paying within the notice period. (N.D. Cent. Code §§ 47-32-01(4), 47-32-02)
What the statute says about a lease violation
Applies to a breach of a material term of a written lease. The statute is silent on a right to cure. Unreasonably disturbing other tenants is a separate ground under § 47-32-01(7) for which the statute requires no prior notice. (N.D. Cent. Code §§ 47-32-01(7)-(8), 47-32-02)
