What North Carolina law says

Lease Agreements

North Carolina caps security deposits at 2 weeks' rent (week-to-week), 1.5 months (month-to-month), or 2 months (longer terms) under N.C. Gen. Stat. §42-51, returnable within 30 days.

Contract Disputes

North Carolina has a notably short 3-year statute of limitations for written contract disputes (N.C. Gen. Stat. §1-52) — shorter than most other states.

LLC Formation

North Carolina requires an annual report with a $200 filing fee to keep an LLC in good standing.

Wills & Estates

North Carolina requires two witnesses for a valid will, and recognizes holographic (handwritten, unwitnessed) wills under limited circumstances.
