North Carolina Eviction Laws
In North Carolina, the first step in the eviction process is issuing a Notice to the Tenant to notify them of the reason for eviction and give them time to cure the issue or vacate the property.
If the Landlord wants to initiate an eviction because of non-compliance with the Lease Agreement, there is no requirement to allow the Tenant to cure the Lease violation. The Landlord may issue an Immediate Notice to Quit for Non-Compliance. However, if you’d like to give the Tenant an option to cure the Lease violation, you can issue a 10-day Notice to Cure or Quit.
The notice period for nonpayment of rent is 10 days. The Tenant has 10 days to pay rent or vacate the property. If the tenant pays past-due rent within this period, the Tenant may remain in the property and the eviction process stops. If the Tenant fails to pay rent or vacate the property, the Landlord may move forward with the eviction process.
If your Tenant is behind on rent, customize this form to comply with North Carolina eviction laws.
