Evicting Roommate on Month-to-Month lease (house hacking)

[Cliff T.]

Hello,

Tenant is on a month-to-month, written lease.

I have informed tenant with appropriate notice that their lease is up at the end of the month. 

I have no reason to expect the tenant to be out or have their property out at the end of the month.

Books have led me to believe that evicting someone that's m-t-m and living in your own primary residence is the easiest thing to do.

However, I'm not seeing any information on this process.

I'm in North Carolina. This is my primary residence. They are renting 2 rooms for $1k/mo. 

Do I have to go through the normal eviction process, or is there really an easier way??

Thanks in advance!

I can't imagine living in my home with a non-paying resident...that would be miserable (and dangerous).
