What North Carolina law says
| Tenancy at will | North Carolina's notice statute does not address tenancies at will. It sets the notice to end periodic tenancies: one month or more before the end of the current year for year-to-year, 7 days for month-to-month, and 2 days for week-to-week (at least 60 days for a manufactured home space).
