A: There is not a specific North Dakota statute that requires a landlord to renew your lease. Generally, a tenant's best chance to challenge the refusal to renew is if the refusal to renew was based on discrimination. There could be a chance to prevent a refusal to renew if it is on public policy grounds.

This is general legal information, and I am unable to render adequate legal advice without first discussing at length the facts and circumstances regarding the matter. Good luck!
