Allen Hayes yes please! I would love her info!

Hi! I'm relocating to Louisville and need a real estate agent. We are moving there Nov 1 and coming out in August to search for a home. Please pm me if you are an REA who works with investors. We would love to chat!

thank you @Jared Nowland.  I don't actually live in NC now, but my husband and I are planning to move out there.  We currently live in Oregon and we think we will head that way in the next year or two, so I thought it would be worth my time to get my license out there to eventually help us when our portfolio gets larger.  Do you work with investors?  We are actually looking for a REA to help us acquire our first property out there. We will probably be ready to buy before we move out there. 

@J Paige I'm interested to hear how it turned out!? 

Thank you guys! 

Can anyone point me where to find the landlord tenant laws for North Carolina? Any good resources for trainings on it? I'm an out of state investor looking to start a portfolio in NC but want to be sure to learn the landlord tenant laws. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to get my REL in North Carolina. Not sure if this is the right forum to post this question, but I'm wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where is the best place to get your REL?

We do that same thing - do upgrades on turn overs. I have had residents ask for things like new carpets or new upgrades and my response is simply that we don't do those bigger capital upgrades during a tenancy, only during a vacancy. However something I do do is a lease upgrade. So if they renew a lease I will throw in a carpet cleaning or a new faucet or something like that to just upkeep the apartment. I don't allow transfers of units really ever. If they do, they have to move out completely and reapply.

Always always send mail certified so you can prove they received your notice. If you posted them with the correct payment procedures and they did not follow them, then they are considered late. They need to follow to correct procedure. If you skirt on it then they will keep playing the game. Stick to the lease. It's your safety net - even when dealing with an attorney resident. Good luck!!

Here is a thought... Could the letter have been an accident? I know that the screening software we use with spit out a letter to the tenant. It will deny/approve the application, but ultimately we have say on if the application is approved or not. My very first thought in this is, they probably really did approve you, sign the lease and everything is actually good to go - the letter just a mistake. Which can happen. However if it's not a mistake and for whatever reason they are trying to undo the lease - they can't (as others have voiced before). It's a signed lease. So it's their bad if they decide they don't want to rent. You basically have control here - what do you want to do. Stay or go? They will definitely have to get you your deposit back in full. Good luck! Weird situation.
