FAQ
Tenants can only be evicted by the Sheriff's Office, and only after the Court has entered a judgment against them and the Clerk issues a “Writ of Possession.” Normally, the eviction process takes about 3 weeks.
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.
Landlords cannot force tenants out of their homes without going to court, for instance, by changing the locks, turning off utilities or removing the doors. Landlords may send tenants “eviction notices” warning tenants that they plan to file for eviction unless the tenant moves out first.
Tenant Gets Up to Five Days to Move Out The tenant must move out within the five-day period (NCGS § 42-36.2). This final notice period does not apply for evictions based on illegal activity, which are expedited. As soon as the sheriff's office receives the writ of possession, they will remove the tenant immediately.
Notice to quit With a lease of one year or more the notice period is 30 days. Even if your tenant provides verbal notice it is best to ask for a short written notice of their intent to quit. Rental agreements that are month to month require a seven day notice to quit by either party.
