How to give a 30-day notice to vacate in North Dakota
- Step 1
Count {days} days from delivery

Serve it and keep proof
Hand it to the tenant where you can, or use a method North Dakota law allows. Fill in the proof of service on the day it is served and keep a copy.
- Step 4
Return the deposit
Within 30 days of move-out, with every deduction itemized in writing (N.D.C.C. § 47-16-07.1(3)).

Information, not legal adviceThis page reads the North Dakota statutes as they stood on September 29, 2026. A city or county can require more notice or a reason, rent-controlled and subsidized units often have rules of their own, and the notes quote the record in English. When in doubt, ask a local attorney.
The questions that follow.
Do I need a 30 day notice to vacate {state} or a 60 day notice to vacate {state}?
North Dakota asks for at least 30 days to end a month-to-month tenancy (N.D.C.C. § 47-16-15(2)), and that is the period the form above writes in. Where North Dakota changes the period with the length of the tenancy or asks for a reason, the note in the rules says so.
Can I use a generic 30-day notice to vacate {state} template?
Yes, if it gives the full 30 days North Dakota asks for, names the statute and sets a move-out date that respects both. The form above does all three for North Dakota.
What goes in a {days} day notice to vacate {state} template?
The date, every tenant's name, the property address, a move-out date at least 30 days after the tenant receives it, the North Dakota law it relies on, your signature and a proof of service. The form above writes every one of them.
When does the deposit have to go back in {state}?
Within 30 days after the tenant moves out, with deductions itemized in writing (N.D.C.C. § 47-16-07.1(3)). The notice above says so, so the tenant knows what to expect.
What if the tenant does not move out by the date?
Then the next step is a court eviction, under your state's procedure. Never change the locks, remove belongings or cut off utilities yourself: that is unlawful almost everywhere in the US, whatever the notice said.
Is a notice to vacate the same as an eviction?
No. A notice to vacate ends the tenancy on a date. An eviction is the court process a landlord uses if the tenant does not leave by then. Most tenants do leave, and a clear, correctly served notice is what makes that likely.
