47-16-35. No appearance in district court - Lessee or assignee.
Repealed by S.L. 1953, ch. 277, § 4.Section 47-16-35 of the North Dakota Century Code, which once addressed the appearance of a lessee or assignee in district court proceedings, was repealed by the 1953 Session Laws (ch. 277, § 4) and is no longer in effect. Because the provision was formally eliminated by the legislature, it carries no current legal force or operative requirements. Any rules that may have governed this subject area under § 47-16-35 would need to be found in other surviving provisions of the North Dakota landlord-tenant statutes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under North Dakota's landlord-tenant framework should be aware that § 47-16-35, which once concerned lessee or assignee appearances in district court, was repealed in 1953 and imposes no current obligations. Compliant operators look to the remaining active provisions within N.D.C.C. §§ 47-16-01 through 47-16-42 for guidance on court-related procedures and other landlord-tenant matters. Consulting the current, non-repealed sections of the code is the appropriate starting point for understanding procedural requirements.

Any questions about court appearances or related procedural rights in North Dakota landlord-tenant disputes would be governed by the active provisions remaining within N.D.C.C. §§ 47-16-01 through 47-16-42.
