QUESTION
Can my leasing agency file for eviction after I've surrendered the property?
Asked on Aug 28th, 2014 on Landlord and Tenant Law - North Carolina
More details to this question:
I am forced to terminate my lease early due to financial circumstance, and I am moving out and turning over the keys on 8/31. I've paid through August. My leasing manager has told me that, because my lease requires a sixty day notice, I will be considered as still residing there and they will file for eviction. I don't want to be evicted, I want to pay my hefty early term fee and move on. Can they evict me if I've stated that I surrender the property and turn in my keys? I'm in North Carolina.

If you pay the termination costs in the lease, no, they don't need to evict you. Have a conversation with them and make it clear you wish to pay the termination fee to get out of the lease.
