IRET Properties v. Lee

by
Stephanie Lee appealed a judgment evicting her, and any other person or persons claiming under her, from her Williston premises and awarding IRET Properties ("IRET") $880.00 for attorney's fees and costs. Lee argued IRET failed to perform all the prerequisites under N.D.C.C. ch. 47­32 in order to bring an eviction action against her, and therefore, she was unlawfully evicted. Lee further argued the district court failed to make sufficient findings on the issue of default and the district court improperly awarded IRET attorney's fees and costs. After review, the North Dakota Supreme Court concluded IRET properly brought an eviction action against Lee for failure to pay rent and the district court's findings were sufficient to sustain its conclusions.
