A North Carolina month-to-month rental agreement is a legally binding lease arrangement that continues indefinitely without a specified termination date. It remains in effect until either the landlord or the tenant decides to end the lease, which can be done by issuing a termination notice.
Legal Requirements for Month-to-Month Leases
Minimum Termination Period: The party terminating the agreement must provide at least seven (7) days’ notice before the desired termination date. However, giving a 30-day notice can be more convenient. [1]
Rent Increase: No statute on rent increase limits or notices for month-to-month tenancies.

North Carolina Month-to-Month Eviction
In North Carolina, evicting a tenant on a month-to-month rental agreement requires the landlord to provide a written notice to vacate at least 7 days before the desired move-out date. Additionally, the eviction process must comply with the legal grounds for eviction, such as non-payment of rent or violation of lease terms. Landlords must follow proper legal procedures to ensure the eviction is lawful, including potentially filing for an eviction hearing if the tenant fails to leave by the specified date.
