North Dakota — N.D.C.C. §§ 47-32-01(8), 47-32-02
Before sending: Identify a material term of a written lease and the facts supporting its violation. Review any lease cure period and any additional notice or good-cause rule that applies to the tenancy. This form offers a cure choice; fill in a cure deadline that honors any longer lease or other applicable requirement.

To tenant or party in possession: [FULL NAME]
Premises: [STREET ADDRESS, UNIT, CITY, NORTH DAKOTA ZIP]
Written lease date: [__/__/____]
From landlord or authorized agent: [FULL NAME]
Material lease violation
The written lease requires [QUOTE OR IDENTIFY THE MATERIAL LEASE TERM AND SECTION]. You violated that term as follows: [STATE SPECIFIC ACT OR OMISSION, DATE, AND RELEVANT FACTS].
This notice concerns only the violation described above. It is a three-day written notice of intention to evict under § 47-32-02 for a material violation of a written lease under § 47-32-01(8).
Cure or surrender possession
To resolve this notice, complete the following cure by [DATE AND TIME], or vacate and surrender possession of the premises within three days after service of this notice:
Required cure: [STATE SPECIFIC ACTIONS THE TENANT CAN COMPLETE AND HOW TO CONFIRM COMPLETION]
Where to deliver keys or report completed cure: [ADDRESS, PHONE, OR EMAIL]
If you complete the stated cure by its deadline, I will not file an eviction based solely on the violation described above. If the violation is not cured and possession is not surrendered, I intend to file an eviction action after the later of the three-day notice period or the cure deadline, subject to the lease and applicable law.
This notice does not itself terminate the lease, award possession, or authorize a lockout. Contact me at [PHONE OR EMAIL] if you dispute the alleged violation or believe it has already been cured.
You do not have to vacate immediately. You have the right to remain until a court issues an eviction order.

Landlord-tenant paperwork governs who can stay in a property, on what terms, and what happens when something goes wrong. Leases, notices to quit, security deposit demands, and habitability complaints all have state and often city-specific requirements for timing, content, and service. Getting the paperwork right is what makes an eviction actually succeed or a security deposit actually come back, because judges regularly dismiss cases over small procedural mistakes.
