About eviction risk in North Dakota

North Dakota spans 409 cities in our dataset, with an average landlord-risk score of 1.4/10. Scores range from 1.1 in the most landlord-neutral jurisdictions to 2.8 in the most tenant-protective. The state's average rent burden (median gross rent ÷ median household income) is 23.0%, which is the single strongest predictor of eviction filings.

Landlords operating anywhere in North Dakota should review state-level statutes on notice periods, just-cause requirements, security deposit limits, and grace periods before initiating any eviction. Local ordinances in tenant-protective cities may impose additional requirements beyond state minimums — use the city grids above to see risk at the specific jurisdiction where you own rentals.
