Eviction Notices in North Carolina
North Carolina's eviction process, called "summary ejectment," is governed by North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 42. For nonpayment of rent, landlords must serve a 10-day notice before filing for summary ejectment.
North Carolina courts require compliance with statutory notice and filing procedures. Self-help evictions are prohibited, and a landlord must obtain a court judgment before removing a tenant.
