Tenant wants to remove occupant from rental/lease agrement
Hello ****,
To better assist you, can you please clarify if you are the landlord or the tenant? And is there a specific reason the tenant wants to remove the occupant from the lease?
only reason the tenant gives is personal reasons
Hello ****, in North Carolina, a tenant cannot remove another tenant from a lease without their consent or without a court order. If the tenant is facing issues, they could potentially request a lease modification from the landlord.
not a tenant but occupant
Hello ****,
If you're an occupant, not a tenant, in North Carolina, you have fewer rights. The tenant may ask you to leave. However, they need to give you reasonable notice, usually 7 days. If you refuse, they may need to file an eviction.
to clarify, the tenant needs to file an eviction against the occupant, correct?
Yes, in North Carolina, if an occupant refuses to leave after being given reasonable notice by the tenant, the tenant may need to file an eviction process through the court system.
Thank you
