Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

Re: Land Sale

If the tenant is in your home in CA, and the tenant is month-to-month, you may serve a 30-day notice to quit. If the tenant doesn't quit, then you'd have to bring an unlawful detainer lawsuit. If you need the tenant out sooner, you might consider paying the tenant a reasonable amount for earlier termination. Often, a home purchaser will require that the home be vacant. You might think about keeping the tenant in place so that you can continue having income until you have an offer and acceptance on the sale.

I'm not licensed to practice in NC, so I can't say whether these suggestions would apply if the property is in NC.
