Renting in Fayetteville, NC

As is often the case with a transient population, more people rent their homes in Fayetteville than own their property. In a time when real estate has become a significant expense in most of the country, renting is refreshingly affordable in Fayetteville, well below the national average and North Carolina’s average. The most desirable places to rent in, with higher-rated schools and better safety levels, are located in the northwestern part of the town around Pinehurst, Vanstory Hills, and Westover. North Carolina laws are very specific when it comes to security deposits that renters are required to put forward, so the amounts vary according to the length of the lease agreement. Landlords aren’t allowed to ask for deposits that exceed two weeks if the tenancy is week-to-week, one and a half months if the tenancy is month-to-month, and two months’ rent for longer terms.
