US EditionThink Democrats and Republicans Can’t Work Together? On Eviction Records, They Do
NORTH DAKOTA, JUL 8 – The bipartisan law lets tenants seal eviction records after seven years if rent and damages are resolved and no new evictions occur, supporting housing stability.
- A tenant protection bill introduced this year by state Senator Ryan Braunberger in North Dakota includes a provision allowing eviction records to be sealed after seven years, provided certain conditions are met.
- This effort follows last year's laws in Idaho, Maryland, and Massachusetts that seal eviction records from public view and screening companies.
- The North Dakota legislation passed with strong bipartisan support, winning 35-12 in the Senate and 88-5 in the House in a state with a Republican supermajority.
- A Princeton University analysis of millions of eviction cases across several states revealed that nearly a quarter contained unclear or inaccurate tenant information, while Barta highlighted that many evictions result from financial difficulties or escaping domestic abuse.
- Although the bill offers a partial tenant rights win, Braunberger plans to reintroduce further protections amid ongoing housing challenges and rising rents in tenant-heavy areas like Grand Forks.
