What is the average length of a notice to vacate?
In North Dakota, the average length of notice to vacate varies depending on the type of tenancy. Generally, if you have a fixed-term tenancy (where you and the landlord have agreed to a specific, predetermined length of tenancy) the term of notice to vacate is 30 days. If you have a periodic tenancy (where the lease automatically renews or is week-to-week, month-to-month, etc.), the term of notice to vacate is 14 days. It is important to remember that the notice to vacate is the document that states your intention to end the tenancy. This document should be in writing and can be hand delivered or sent via mail or other means of communication. It is also important to include the specific date that you intend to vacate. The landlord may also be required to include additional information such as a statement of why the tenant must vacate. In terms of the time frame in which the notice to vacate must be given, North Dakota requires that the tenant must give notice at least two weeks before the date they intend to leave. In some cases, the landlord may accept a lesser amount of time, but it is important to understand the different requirements for each type of tenancy before making any decisions about how long to give notice. Finally, if you fail to give proper notice, you may still be liable for rent until the end of the notice period. For that reason, it is important to follow the requirements of the law when providing a notice to vacate.
