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.
The North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings and the Fair Housing Act prohibit landlords from discriminating against potential tenants because of their race, religion, familial status, sex, gender, etc.
For month-to-month leases, there must be seven days of notice. For year-to-year leases or those with other definite terms, landlords must notify the tenant, or vice versa, within a month of the end of the lease. On leases lasting between one week and one month, notice must be given at least two days in advance.
