47-16-06.1. Automatic renewal of leases of residential real property - When notice

required.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 47-16-06, in any lease of a specified term of two

months or more of real property used for residential purposes, the lessor may not enforce an

automatic renewal clause of a lease unless the lessor has notified the lessee in writing,

delivered personally or by first-class mail, of the automatic renewal provision, not less than thirty

days prior to the expiration date of the current lease. If such notice has not been given, the

lease expires, and the terms of the latest lease convert to a month-to-month tenancy.
