What North Dakota law says

Ending a month-to-month lease	Either party: at least one calendar month's written notice, unless they agreed in writing to a longer period. If the landlord changes terms on 30 days' notice (§ 47-16-07), the tenant may end the tenancy at month's end with at least 25 days' notice. Source: N.D.C.C. § 47-16-15(2)-(3), (5)
How notices must be delivered	The 3-day notice of intention to evict is served the way a summons is served (personal delivery). If the tenant cannot be found, the sheriff or a process server may post it conspicuously on the premises. A notice changing the terms of a month-to-month lease may be served 'in any reasonable manner which actually informs the tenant.' Termination notices must be in writing. No statute addresses email or text notices. Source: N.D.C.C. §§ 47-32-02, 47-16-07, 47-16-15
