N.C. Gen. Stat. § 42-14 sets notice periods to end periodic tenancies: seven days for month-to-month, two days for week-to-week, and one month or more before the year ends for year-to-year tenancies. Manufactured-home space tenancies require at least 60 days' notice.
Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 42-14, a year-to-year tenancy ends only with "notice to quit given one month or more before the end of the current year" of the lease; a month-to-month tenancy requires "seven days" notice; and a week-to-week tenancy requires "two days" notice. A special rule requires at least 60 days' notice before the end of the rental period to terminate a tenancy of a manufactured-home space, regardless of the term. These notice periods apply to ending a periodic tenancy without cause and are distinct from the summary-ejectment process used for nonpayment or other breaches. A fixed-term lease simply expires at the end of its stated term unless it converts to a periodic tenancy.
No specific statutory penalty. A termination with insufficient notice is ineffective, and the tenancy continues until a proper § 42-14 notice period has run.
