This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 47-16 of the North Dakota Century Code, which addresses prohibited lease provisions in contracts for leasing real property. Specifically, it prohibits landlords from charging tenants a fee for accepting cash, checks, or money orders as payment for rent or any other required payments 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 by eliminating unnecessary charges associated with standard payment practices.
