Can i document type e sign notice of rent increase north carolina

as a property management company how do fictions work well we promise to take a step backwards and figure out why the client is evicted and and what they're doing why aren't they why aren't they paying the rent and why didn't you screen them well enough as a tenant why are they in there because this is something that should have been looked at before so normally in North Carolina you have a one-month security deposit so when the fifth comes along and the rent is now late now we're worried now we've something's happened the tenant can't pay rent well did we get one month security deposit do we get two months security deposit if you come into our office and you have a bad credit report and you have some things that they that give us caution we're gonna require too much security deposit because that one my security deposit can get eaten up really quick and that's difficult for people to do I mean first month's rent two months security deposit $1,000 rental you're talking about three thousand cash it's very difficult for people to come up with $3,000 so we get in a situation where they're late and we normally have we try to make a phone call and see what's happened and say oh I'm coming in tomorrow you know whatever no big deal stuff happens we understand that but if you ignore us and we don't know what's going on we're going to send a required ten-day letter to let you know that if you don't rectify this situation we're gonna begin the eviction process again best thing to do is call us let us know we need we need to tell school hen lord something okay we're gonna get landlord what is gonna want to know where their money is and when we say we don't know we look bad and the tenant looks bad so even a partial payment is not a so it shows an effort and and we need to communicate work this out stuff happens cars break down somebody doesn't pay child support I mean we understand that stuff happens whatever so just because you're late one month is not a big huge deal ignoring the situation hoping that it's going to go away is a big deal so so no no payment has been made from for the first five days and the ten days letter has been an order you haven't rectified the situation now we're gonna start an eviction process the tenant is required to have 30 days notice for this eviction here well depending on the court dates and the availability could be 30 to 45 days so we if you're not paying i've extinguished that one month security deposit that's why i really like if we have red flags to have the two months security deposit because the one month is gone but what I tell tenant landlords all the time is look it's upsetting that you weren't paid but really our focus should be not getting that money but getting the premises back so we can rerun it to another good tenant oh I can't it's been very very few times in the history of our company that we've had a bad tenant that we had to evict what happens most of the time is we inherit a rental for an investor or for someone else that ends up being a problem tenant that wasn't screened by us so then we have our court date papers have been filed and the magistrate goes through the docket and it is very interesting a little small claims things that happen or whatever but they usually do property management first and if the tenant shows up they get to say why they didn't pay the rent if they don't show up the magistrate probably won't award the money because they're not there to defend themselves but they will give us approval to get the property back Sheriff gives notice that they have ten days to get out and then they're out if there's any property inside this is another misconception if there's any property inside you can't throw it out you can't sell it you the landlord is actually responsible to put it in some kind of dry safe storage for I believe it's 30 to 60 days and even after they've been evicted I can't just throw their stuff out in the front yard if it has any value if it has any value so right it's it's to be determined or every but the last thing you want to do is go through your process do everything right do the eviction right and then get suit and small-claims because you threw out their stereo and it was worth several hundred dollars or whatever so I know it's a pain but that's the way to to keep it in order I think in 20 years we've done less than a dozen evictions we don't do it often all 12 times the magistrate has given the property back to the landlord and then you know then one of the nasty things is you're gonna say where you lived and and whether or not it was it was managed by Realtor world Carolina's properties I can tell you that if you have an old hospital bill I'm gonna I'm gonna be okay with that as a tenant that you didn't pay if you have an old cellphone bill that you didn't pay I'm gonna be okay with that if you had a car repossessed or some kind of divorce or someone was really sick or there's a death in the family all those things are excusable and everything the two the two biggest red flags that we have of whether or not we're going to rent to you is if if you don't pay your power bill because that we just think that you you're really desperate and so if you have power bill Collections that's very bad not only that you could damage the landlord's property if you pay the power and so utilities are big and then the second thing is if you have a previous eviction you know we don't want to inherit someone else's problems so you know and there might be a reason for that and if you give us a good reason we'll probably do that double security deposit and then things will move forward whatever so the landlord does pay for it it's a couple hundred bucks you know we make arrangements with a landlord to go through that process it's it's not it's a stressful thing as stressful to the landlord it's stressful to the tenant unfortunately we've done it enough that we know the process is not that stressful to us and the bottom line is that tenant has signed a lease with the landlord to pay this money per month if they don't the lease is broken and they get out and it's it's an open-and-shut case
