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.

The notice period for nonpayment of rent is 10 days. This gives the Tenant 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.

landlords really need to know

When a Tenant violates the Lease, the Landlord is not required to give the Tenant an opportunity to cure the Lease violation. When possible, it’s ideal to give the Tenant an opportunity to cure the Lease violation by issuing a North Carolina Notice to Cure or Quit. This can help avoid disputes and lead to better outcomes for both parties.

That said, if there is criminal activity, significant damage to the property, or dangers to other Tenants, it makes sense to use an immediate notice to quit.
