Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in North Carolina

It depends on what kind of lease the tenant had. A year lease requires 30 days. If the tenant holds over the tenant is on a month-to-month lease if the tenant has not signed a new lease. Month to month leases only require 7 days' notice. Any other tenancy for a shorter period requires even less notice.

� 42‑14. Notice to quit in certain tenancies.

A tenancy from year to year may be terminated by a notice to quit given one month or more before the end of the current year of the tenancy; a tenancy from month to month by a like notice of seven days; a tenancy from week to week, of two days. Provided, however, where the tenancy involves only the rental of a space for a manufactured home as defined in G.S. 143‑143.9(6), a notice to quit must be given at least 60 days before the end of the current rental period, regardless of the term of the tenancy.
