Living in Mooresville, NC

One of the definite pros of living in Mooresville is the close proximity to Charlotte and the relatively low cost of living compared to other suburban areas of Charlotte. The area is also very culturally diverse, and features a wide range of shops, restaurants and entertainment options.   

The only real con is that, outside of Charlotte, Mooresville is really not very close to any major cities. But many people also enjoy the peace, quiet, and limited traffic outside of the major city areas.

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.
