Rights & Duties as a Tenant

Whenever you consider renting a property, you should always have a firm grasp of your rights and obligations as a potential renter. As a tenant in North Carolina, the law affords you significant protections relating to your use of the property and your relationship with the landlord, among other things. However, North Carolina landlord-tenant laws also impose some significant duties on tenants renting residential property. If a tenant does not live up to the terms of the rental agreement, such as by not paying rent, the landlord has the right to begin ejectment or eviction procedures to have them removed. Even when the property involved is commercial in nature there are a similar set of rights and obligations that apply to commercial tenants.

Rights & Duties as a Landlord

Being a commercial or residential landlord can be a profitable and satisfying way to make extra money, but it is important that you understand what your duties are both before you decide to take on the responsibility and during the tenancy. While a residential tenant may be obligated to keep their residence in a decent condition, the landlord will be required to maintain all common areas such as sidewalks, pools, and parking lots. There are also rules that govern the collection, accounting, and use of security deposits that must be followed, plus procedures that govern the ejectment or eviction of tenants.
