Invite Signert To Legal North Carolina Evictions Forms For Free

For a tenant with no lease or a month-to-month lease in North Carolina, the landlord can serve them a 7-Day Notice to Vacate to terminate the tenancy. This lease termination notice allows the tenant 7 calendar days to move out.

Guests do not have these rights, and guests who refuse to leave the property may be removed either by the police or through a trespass warrant issued by a magistrate.

To begin the eviction process, the landlord must file a Magistrate's Summons and a Complaint in Summary Ejectment with the Clerk of Court. In most cases, the landlord must give the tenant advance notice to end the lease or make a demand for past-due rent before starting the eviction process.

Serving the Tenant The landlord must not serve the documents by themselves. The Summons and its supporting documents must contain information such as the date and time of the eviction hearing. North Carolina allows either the sheriff any other individuals who are legally allowed to serve the tenant these documents.

Eviction for unpaid rent requires 10 days' notice. Eviction for not vacating the property after a week-to-week lease must have two days' notice, which increases to seven days for month-to-month contracts and a months' notice for year-to-year notice.
