Tips for Renting in Mooresville

Mooresville tenant regulations are governed by North Carolina state law, and are very comparable to other state and federal tenant laws. 

However, North Carolina also has its own policy when it comes to eviction notice. For monthly rentals, the eviction period is seven days: for a year­to­year rental, the minimum eviction notice is 30 days: and for mobile homes, the minimum eviction notice is 60 days.

North Carolina tenants also have the “right to repair and deduct,” meaning they can legally refuse to pay their rent if a major repair is left neglected.
