Lease Termination Ownership Change

Summary

In North Carolina, landlords are generally not allowed to terminate a lease early without cause. A change in property ownership typically does not affect Section 8 leases. Landlords are legally required to provide tenants with a copy of the lease. If you havent received one, you should request it from your landlord. Consult your Section 8 agreement for specific terms related to property ownership changes.
