Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 47-16-34 of the North Dakota Century Code, which once addressed the appearance of a lessee or assignee in district court under the broader lease statutes (N.D.C.C. §§ 47-16-01 through 47-16-35), was repealed by the 1953 Session Laws, chapter 277, section 4. As a result, this provision no longer carries any legal force or effect. No rights, obligations, or procedures are established by § 47-16-34 in its current form.

For Property Managers

Because § 47-16-34 was repealed by S.L. 1953, ch. 277, § 4, property owners and managers should be aware that this section imposes no current requirements or procedures related to lessee or assignee appearances in district court. Operators looking for governing rules on lease-related court proceedings under North Dakota law should consult the remaining active provisions within N.D.C.C. §§ 47-16-01 through 47-16-35. Relying on § 47-16-34 as a source of authority or procedure would be misplaced, as it has been without legal effect for decades.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Tenants should be aware that § 47-16-34, once part of North Dakota's lease statutes under N.D.C.C. §§ 47-16-01 through 47-16-35, was repealed by S.L. 1953, ch. 277, § 4, and no longer provides any rights or procedures. Any questions about a lessee's or assignee's rights in district court proceedings should be directed to the active provisions of North Dakota's landlord-tenant law or a tenant-rights organization familiar with current North Dakota statutes. Consulting the North Dakota Legal Self Help Center or a local legal aid organization may help identify which current provisions apply to a given court-related concern.
