Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in North Carolina

If an apartment rental agreement is signed and there are no provisions in the agreement for the rentor leaving before the lease is over, is that legal? Can someone break the lease if enough advance notice is given? Is there a standard amount of time or is it up to the leasor? Can they make you pay for the entire lease?
