Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

I own my mobile home and I rent the lot in a 55+ mobile home park.

My ex-Wife moved in with me. Can the landlord force us to get married? Is it legal?

The landlord can not force you to get married. However, depending on your lease arrangement for the lot, the landlord may be able to evict you for violating some term in the lease. Even if there is no specific clause in your lease requiring cohabiting couples be married, the landlord may simply refuse to renew your lease - this would be well within the landlords rights.
