How to Evict a Tenant in Charlotte, North Carolina

The topic of eviction is often on the mind of anyone who rents out property, and I get asked all the time how to evict tenants who aren't paying rent. People who manage their own homes often don't know where to go and what to fill out. You don't have to use an attorney to file your eviction, but I do recommend it. Anyone can file the necessary eviction paperwork; a homeowner, a property manager or an attorney.

Free Legal Aid provides useful information about evections. In addition to the video here, be sure you check out our other resources.

Residential Rental Application

This is a form that's going to make it more streamlined for tenants who want to apply to rent from you.  How it works is a tenant fills out the application for rental, pays a fee, and then you follow the legal requirements to either approve or disapprove them. check to learn more.
