Q: Can I terminate my lease without a two-month termination fee after purchasing a house?
Now they want charge me two month because I did not provide them notice in advance , the think I was not sure when I would buy
A: Unfortunately a lawyer would need to read your lease to properly answer your question as to what your rights are. That being said most leases don't provide for early termination.
A:
It depends on the language contained within the lease. I would contact an attorney to properly assess what your options are. There are very few leases that allow for the option of early termination.
In North Carolina, In accordance with NC Statute 42-45.1, there are certain requirements that must be met to terminate your lease agreement:
1. The notice of termination should be accompanied by one of the following documents:
(i) A copy of a valid order of protection issued by a court pursuant to Chapter 50B or 50C of the General Statutes, excluding ex parte orders.
(ii) A criminal order that restrains an individual from contacting a protected tenant.
(iii) A valid Address Confidentiality Program card issued pursuant to G.S. 15C-4 to the victim or a minor member of the tenant's household.
2. Additionally, a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault must provide a copy of a safety plan along with the termination notice. The safety plan, dated during the term of the tenancy to be terminated, should be furnished by a domestic violence or sexual assault program that substantially complies with the requirements outlined in G.S. 50B-9. It should also recommend the relocation of the protected tenant.
