A North Dakota notice to enter alerts a tenant that their landlord intends to enter their rental unit for a particular reason. North Dakota state law doesn’t specify a minimum time frame for this kind of notice but does require the landlord to provide reasonable notice and obtain the tenant’s consent to enter the rental unit.

- Agreed services;

- Repairs; and
- Showing the unit to possible buyers, contractors, insurers, mortgagees, real estate agents, tenants, or workmen.
