North Carolina Notice to Lessor of Lessee's Intention not to Renew or Extend Lease Agreement — Nonrenewal or Not Renewing A North Carolina Notice to Lessor of Lessee's Intention not to Renew or Extend Lease Agreement is a legal document used by tenants in North Carolina to officially notify their landlord or lessor of their decision not to renew or extend their current lease agreement. This notice serves as a formal communication from the lessee to the lessor, indicating the tenant's intention to vacate the rental property at the end of the lease term. Key elements to include in this notice are: 1. Tenant's Information: The notice should begin with the tenant's full name, current address, and contact details. This information ensures that the lessor can accurately identify the tenant and respond accordingly. 2. Landlord's Information: The name and contact information of the landlord or lessor should be provided below the tenant's details. This helps establish the recipient of the notice and ensures the document reaches the correct person or entity. 3. Lease Details: The notice should clearly state the lease agreement's details, including the start and end dates of the existing lease agreement. This information helps in identifying the specific lease being referred to and avoiding any confusion that may arise regarding multiple lease agreements. 4. Nonrenewal Notice: The notice should explicitly state the tenant's intention not to renew or extend the lease agreement at the end of its term. The tenant should mention the specific date when they plan to vacate the premises. 5. Signature: The notice must be signed and dated by the tenant(s) giving the notice. This signature validates the notice and confirms that it is a legal and binding document. It is important to note that North Carolina does not require a written notice of nonrenewal to be provided by the tenant unless specified in the lease agreement. However, it is considered best practice to provide a written notice to avoid any potential disputes or misunderstandings between the tenant and landlord.
