Charlotte, North Carolina Rental Ordinance Questions

[Lisa Wilson]

Hi,

I received a call from the community police officer saying there was a noise complaint from a neighbor. Apparently, my tenant had a loud party over Fourth of July Weekend (she said it was 5 people).

Anyway, I know that the property owener can get fined for having too many calls to the police because of tenant issues. But the community police officer said the city can tell you that you are not allowed to rent your property any longer. 

Does anyone know if this is true? If so, where is it written? I can not find the verbage in the rental ordinance.

This is the second compliant for noise from a neighbor by my tenant. The community officer suggested I start the evicition process. I thought that that was crazy - we did have issues prior (one of the roommates moved out claiming domestic abuse) but the last couple of months, things have been ok. She pays on time and the unit looks good. 

So, when do you say enough is enough? I don't want to be fined. and I certainly don't want to lose my ability to rent MY property.

Yes, I have talked to the tenant and I followed up with an email.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.
