Month-to-Month Laws

  • Termination Notice: Either party must give at least 7 days’ notice before the current rental period expires (§ 42-14).
  • Increasing Rent: North Carolina law does not specify a timeframe for rent increases. A rent increase alters the contract terms; therefore, landlords must follow the same 7-day notice required to terminate the lease.
