Greensboro does not require private landlords to pay relocation assistance to tenants displaced by lease non-renewal, sale, or condemnation. Limited federal Uniform Relocation Act benefits may apply only when displacement is caused by federally funded projects.
Unlike some West Coast cities, Greensboro has not adopted a tenant-relocation ordinance, and North Carolina does not authorize one through general statutes. Private no-fault terminations end with the statutory notice in NCGS 42-14 and an opportunity to relocate at the tenant's own expense. The federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act can require payments only when a household is displaced by a federally assisted project, such as a HUD-funded redevelopment or DOT acquisition. Tenants displaced by code condemnation may receive case-by-case help through Greensboro Neighborhood Development referrals to nonprofit partners.
Misrepresenting that relocation payments are unavailable in a federally funded displacement, or skipping URA notices in such projects, can violate federal regulations and trigger HUD audit findings.
