North Carolina Eviction notices for other grounds (lease violation, no-fault)

Eviction notices for other grounds (lease violation, no-fault) in North Carolina

In North Carolina, a landlord can bring summary ejectment against a tenant who has broken a lease term that, under the lease, ends the tenancy, and who stays after the landlord demands surrender of the premises. Section 42-26 requires that demand but does not set a number of days for it. The lease may say that accepting partial rent does not waive the breach. Statute text: "When the tenant or lessee, or other person under him, has done or omitted any act by which, according to the stipulations of the lease, his estate has ceased." (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 42-26(a)(2), (c)).
