Stays of 30 days or longer in a Greensboro home generally fall outside the city's short-term rental rules and instead trigger landlord-tenant protections under NCGS Chapter 42. Hosts can offer extended monthly home-shares without Chapter 11 STR registration.
Greensboro's STR program targets transient lodging, typically defined as rentals shorter than 30 days. When a guest stays 30 or more consecutive days at a single property, the arrangement is treated as a residential tenancy under North Carolina's Residential Rental Agreements Act in NCGS Chapter 42. The host must then deliver the unit in fit and habitable condition, follow statutory eviction procedures, and apply security-deposit rules under NCGS 42-50 to 42-56. NCDOR sales and occupancy tax treatment also shifts at the 90-day threshold, often eliminating accommodations tax obligations.
Treating a 30-plus-day occupant as a transient guest, including using self-help lockouts or skipping NCGS Chapter 42 eviction steps, can trigger tenant lawsuits, statutory damages, and code enforcement.
