Of course, ****. Take your time. Please feel free to ask your question whenever you're ready.
ok so my lease will be up July first- my landlord wants to raise it * more.so he isn’t going to make the 30 day notice of telling me. So what happens now?
Hello ****. In North Carolina, a landlord must give a month-to-month tenant a *-day notice to increase rent or change another term. For a fixed term lease, the landlord can increase the rent after the lease has ended if a new lease or agreement is signed.
So the landlord can give me new lease with any price and my I can either agree to new price or refuse?
Yes, ****. After your current lease ends, your landlord can propose a new lease with a different rent price. You can either accept the new lease terms or refuse them. If you refuse, you may need to move out.
Can I ask my landlord for a 60 day extension to move out and find a place
Yes, ****. You can ask your landlord for a *-day extension to move out. However, the landlord is not legally required to grant it. It will depend on their discretion. It's always good to communicate your needs clearly and respectfully.
