47-16-06. When a lease is presumed renewed

If a lessee of real property remains in possession of the real property after the expiration of

the lease and the lessor accepts rent from the lessee, the parties are presumed to have

renewed the lease on the same terms and for the same time, not exceeding one year. Except in

the case of a lease with an automatic renewal clause, if a lessee of real property for residential

purposes remains in possession of the property after the expiration of the lease and the lessor

accepts rent from the lessee, the parties are presumed to have renewed the lease as a

month-to-month tenancy.
