We serve both landlords and tenants in the Charlotte, North Carolina and Mecklenburg County area. Our retainer fees are reasonable and hourly fees are billed against this initial retainer.

WE HANDLE

• Evictions & back rent

• Commercial tenants

• Cancellations of lease agreements

• Landlord discrimination

• Extensions of commercial/residential leases

• Renters’ rights

Most of these issues are small claims court matters, but the process is much more complex than most people realize. Whether you are a landlord or tenant, a knowledgeable attorney can help avoid many common pitfalls.

​

Several landlord-tenant laws in North Carolina affect both property owners and renters, including:

• tenant protections against landlord retaliation for tenant exercising a legal right, such as complaining about an unsafe living condition (see North Carolina State Laws Prohibiting Landlord Retaliation for details)

• special protections for tenants who are victims of domestic violence (see North Carolina State Laws Affecting Tenants in Domestic Violence Situations)

• procedures for how landlords must handle abandoned property left behind by tenants, and

• fair housing rights (discrimination is also prohibited by federal and, often, local law—see the Housing Discrimination section of the Nolo site for details).
