Committee casts doubt on proposed renter protections in North Dakota


Three bills aimed at protecting North Dakota renters were introduced but faced a cool reception from the Senate Industry and Business Committee. These bills, sponsored by Sen. Ryan Braunberger, aim to regulate rental business practices to prevent fees from accumulating and potentially leading to homelessness for renters. One bill, SB 2235, would prioritize rent payments over late fees, while another, SB 2236, seeks to cap late fees at 8% of the total monthly rent. A third bill, SB 2237, would allow the Labor Commission to investigate tenant complaints against landlords.
Proponents argue that these measures will protect renters and provide a pathway for recourse when dealing with landlord violations. However, opponents, including Sen. Mark Enget and Jeremy Petron, expressed concerns about the potential consequences and practicality of these bills. Despite the skepticism expressed by committee members, no immediate action was taken on the bills. The bills will face further deliberation and scrutiny as they navigate through the legislative process.
