Notice to terminate lease /Subject of Domestic Violence

[Jon Q.]

If you have rentals in NC or in any state for that matter (I'm sure they have similar statutes), I thought you would find this useful:

I just had a tenant in North Carolina request to terminate the lease in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 42-45.1, Victim of domestic Violence (http://law.justia.com/codes/north-carolina/2005/ch...).

Unfortunately, her email and notice to terminate was invalid.  Per this section, for there to be a valid termination:

She's going to have to send me (i), (ii), or (iii) and a safety plan. Otherwise her notice to terminate is invalid and she's liable for all outstanding rents.
