Q: Can a NC landlord gie me a 30 day notice to move due to renovations?
Hi, my landlord gave me and another tenant a 30 day notice to move. We were not behind on rent or did anything to have any problems. He has not asked anyone else in the building to move but us. I am currently invading on my daughters space, because I was not able to find a place. I don't understand why everyone but us gets to stay. I lived in this apartment for 6 years.
A:
In North Carolina, a residential rental relationship may be "month-to-month." Generally, that means that either party can terminate the tenancy with at least 30 days' notice. Although a landlord must have a reason for an eviction, this wouldn't be considered an eviction. It would simply be a termination/non-renewal, for which no reason is needed. (Of course, if the reason is illegal, that's a completely different subject.) Someone who believes that their landlord has violated their rights should consider consulting with a knowledgeable attorney as soon as possible.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation and I hope you are able to get it resolved quickly.
