Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

Re: Verifying tenant rent payments

You should request an accounting of your account with the property manager. This should contain the date of each rent payment paid and the same for payments made. After receiving the accounting you can decide what other action, if any, you should take.

Re: Verifying tenant rent payments

First, you need to review your contract with the management company to determine whether contacting the tenant might violate the terms of your agreement. There is no such thing as a "standard" management agreement, and the agreement you signed is probably governed by NC law, since (I assume) that is where the out of state property is located (as well as the management company). If you need legal advice, unfortunately you will have to contact an attorney in NC, since the contract, the property and the management company are all located there. Further, you can contact the NC Department of Real Estate to check on the manager's license (if one is required there) and to file a complaint if you feel it is appropriate. I'd start with an attorney in NC to discuss your options.
