Local help for an Oxford rental
North Carolina lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules
The lease does not automatically end when the house is sold, and the buyer generally becomes the landlord.
North Carolina G.S. 47-18 — leases longer than three years
A lease longer than three years must be recorded with the register of deeds to bind a buyer.
North Carolina Tenant Security Deposit Act, G.S. 42-54
Within 30 days after the sale, you must either transfer the security deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the buyer and mail the tenant the buyer's name and address, or return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the tenant. Either step relieves you of further responsibility for the deposit.
North Carolina G.S. 42-14 — notice to end a tenancy
When a tenancy has no set end date, the notice period depends on the rent period: at least seven days before the end of the month for month-to-month; two days before the end of the week for week-to-week; and one month or more before the end of the year for year-to-year. A rented manufactured-home space needs 60 days. Check the lease too; it may require more notice.
North Carolina G.S. 42-25.6 — court process for possession
If a tenant will not leave, North Carolina requires the court process to remove them.

Oxford tenant-occupied seller questions

Yes. You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
Does selling the house cancel the lease or make the tenant leave?
No. The lease does not automatically end when the house is sold, and the buyer generally takes over as the landlord. A lease longer than three years must be recorded with the register of deeds to bind a buyer.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
Within 30 days after the sale, transfer the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the buyer and mail the tenant the buyer’s name and address, or return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the tenant. Either step relieves you of further responsibility for the deposit.
How much notice is needed to end a tenancy with no set end date?
North Carolina notice depends on the rent period: at least seven days before the end of the month for month-to-month, two days before the end of the week for week-to-week, and one month or more before the end of the year for year-to-year. A rented manufactured-home space needs 60 days. Check the lease too; it may require more.
Can I remove a tenant who will not leave after the sale?
If a tenant will not leave, North Carolina requires the court process to remove them.
