Fair Housing

A North Dakota landlord who requires all tenants to speak English as a condition of tenancy may be violating:

AOnly immigration laws
BFair housing law protections for national origin, as language can be closely tied to national origin✓ Correct
COnly North Dakota language statutes
DNo law; landlords can set any tenant qualification criteria

Explanation

English-only requirements can constitute national origin discrimination because language is closely tied to national origin under fair housing interpretations. While landlords can require tenants to understand lease terms, blanket English-only requirements may be discriminatory if not justified by legitimate business necessity.
