The North Dakota rental agreements are written specifically for the leasing of residential and commercial property in the State. A rental contract is employed when a tenant views a property owned by a landlord and agrees to rent it for the duration of the term stated in the agreement. Generally speaking, it is recommended that the property owner/manager check the applicant’s credit and background (including any references) with the rental application. If the landlord opts to screen his/her tenants, a lease will be drafted and signed only if the landlord approves of the tenant’s credentials. Access to all facets of the property should be given to the tenant immediately after this point.
