NC Landlord / Tenant rights

Kyle Groseclose
Posted

Hello everyone,

My partner and I are under contract on our first property and the units have current tenants that are not under any sort of lease, but are paying monthly(Well below market rate). 

My main question is, where should we go to find definitive documents of landlord/tenant rights in NC? I have found numerous law firms with a bunch of vaguely helpful summaries, but can't seem to find formal state documents. I would like to become a SME in the area so that I can ensure we are in compliance with all state requirements. 

Secondary question is: Does anyone have advice for this particular situation? The intent is to vacate the properties after closing. I have read that in NC you need only to provide 7 days notice to evict month-month tenants... but we intend to give them ample time to vacate because who can get out of a house in 7 days!?

Hey Kyle, if you're still looking for guidance the below may help:

Talk to an Attorney for free this Friday!

Dear Friends,

Please feel free to forward this email to friends, family and others in North Carolina who might benefit!

The NC Bar Association’s 13th Annual “4ALL Statewide Service Day” will take place on Friday, March 6, at call centers in Asheville, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Greenville, Raleigh and Wilmington. On that day, North Carolinians will be able to talk to an NC lawyer by phone for free!

Attorney volunteers from the North Carolina Bar Association will take calls from members of the public with law-related questions. Each year, nearly 10,000 North Carolinians call in and talk to volunteer lawyers at no charge during the 4ALL Statewide Service Day.

Anyone in N.C. can call one of the toll-free numbers between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Callers will not be asked for their name or any contact information - they can just ask their questions!

The toll free phone numbers will be available later this week, so be sure to check out our Social Media (and search hashtag #4ALLNCBF) to receive the phone numbers. You can also go to www.ncbar.org to get the phone numbers for the other call centers across the state when they are released. If a toll-free number is busy that day, callers can use any of the phone numbers listed.

Areas of practice will include criminal law, real estate, wills and probate, powers of attorney, landlord-tenant, immigration, child custody and support, divorce, business, debt collection and more.

We would appreciate your help in getting the word out, so please feel free to forward this message to organizations, friends and family so those who have legal questions know about this opportunity to talk to a North Carolina lawyer at no charge.

Again, it’s this Friday, March 6, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thanks for helping us spread the word!
