57-45-01. Taxes paid by occupant or tenant

If any tax on any real estate is paid by or collected from any occupant or tenant or any other

person, and such tax, by agreement or otherwise, ought to have been paid by the owner, lessor,

or some other party in interest, such occupant, tenant, or other person may recover by action

the amount which such owner, lessor, or party in interest ought to have paid, with interest

thereon at the rate of six percent per annum, or may retain the same for any rent due or

accruing from the person who paid the tax to such owner or lessor for real estate on which such

tax is paid, and the same, until paid, constitutes a lien upon said real estate.
