Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina
Rental Property
Tennents have not signed a lease agreement (they only have verbal agreement to rent a property for 1 year), and want to leave the property for a new one. The landlord wants to have them sign a written agreement to verify the verbal agreement, or vacate the property. How soon can the landlord request the tennant to vacate the property?

Re: Rental Property
If there is no written lease agreement, then the NC statutes dictate the rights of the parties. The notice is dictated by how often the tenant pays rent. If they pay rent on a monthly basis, then under statute the Landlord must give them 10 days notice to vacate.
