North Carolina No-Smoking Addendum

This No-Smoking Addendum is built with North Carolina as the governing state. These are the North Carolina landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

North Carolina rules at a glance

North Carolina rules for a No-Smoking Addendum
Nonpayment	10-day demand for past-due rent before forfeiture (unless the lease provides otherwise)N.C.G.S. §42-3
Landlord entry	No statutory minimum — the lease controls

Landlord entry & access

North Carolina has no statute setting a notice period for landlord entry. Access is governed by the lease and the tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment, so it’s important that the lease states when and how the landlord may enter — reasonable advance notice at reasonable times, with immediate entry in an emergency, is the common standard.

Ending a North Carolina tenancy

North Carolina’s notice periods are much shorter than most states’ — a common trap for landlords using out-of-state templates that assume 30 days.

Notice to quit for a North Carolina tenancy with no fixed end date (§42-14)
Week-to-week	2 days
Month-to-month	7 days
Year-to-year	1 month before the end of the current year
Manufactured-home space only	60 days before the end of the rental period

Nonpayment — Unless the lease provides otherwise, the term is forfeited only if the tenant fails to pay within 10 days after the landlord demands all past-due rent (§42-3). The landlord then files for summary ejectment before a magistrate.
Domestic violence — A tenant who is a protected victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking may end the lease with 30 days’ written notice, a qualifying court order or Address Confidentiality Program card, and a safety plan; only prorated rent is owed (§42-45.1).
Military — Servicemembers can end a lease early under the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 U.S.C. §3955). North Carolina’s own statute covers military technicians with permanent change-of-station orders 50+ miles away, a 90-day-plus deployment, or a premature discharge; liquidated damages are limited to one month’s rent (under six months completed) or half a month’s (six to nine months) (§42-45).
No self-help — A residential tenant may be removed only through the court process in Chapter 42 — not by lockout or utility shutoff (§42-25.6).
