This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 47-16 of the North Dakota Century Code, which addresses lease provisions in contracts for real property. Specifically, it prohibits landlords from charging tenants a fee for accepting various forms of payment, including cash, checks, or money orders, for rent or any other payments required under the lease agreement.

The new legal language clearly states that landlords are not allowed to impose such fees, thereby protecting tenants from additional financial burdens related to payment methods. This legislation aims to ensure fair treatment of tenants in rental agreements and promote transparency in landlord-tenant relationships.
