Highlight

A contract for deed may be cancelled by statutory cancellation under N.D.C.C. ch. 32-18, or by court action.
Cancellation of a contract for deed by action is an action in equity, and the district court must base its decision on equitable principles.
When a seller cancels a contract for deed by action, there is no statutory redemption period, and the matter of the redemption period is left to the district court's sound discretion.
The facts of each case must be examined in order to determine the propriety of a redemption period.
