US EditionThink Democrats and Republicans Can’t Work Together? On Eviction Records, They Do
CASS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA, JUL 8 – The bipartisan law helps tenants seal eviction records after seven years if conditions are met, addressing barriers to housing stability for many North Dakotans, including those fleeing domestic violence.
- Last year, Idaho, Maryland, and Massachusetts passed legislation that restricts public access to some eviction records and limits their availability to tenant screening services.
- This trend followed evidence that 22% of 3.6 million eviction records analyzed in 2020 were ambiguous or misrepresented tenants, highlighting a need for reform.
- North Dakota Senator Ryan Braunberger introduced five tenant protection bills this year, with one passing to allow eviction record sealing after seven years if conditions are met.
- The passed bill, supported 35-12 in the Senate and 88-5 in the House, lets tenants petition to seal records if they paid outstanding amounts and avoided further evictions during that time.
- The new law represents a partial victory amid a housing crisis, potentially helping tenants rebuild stability as North Dakota joins similar states expanding eviction record protections.
