QUESTION
Can this be grounds for eviction?
Asked on Jul 30th, 2014 on Landlord and Tenant Law - North Carolina
More details to this question:
My landlord has been trying to evict me the past couple of months for various things. I live in North Carolina and a couple of weeks ago, I was charged with drug paraphernalia. I wanted to know since there was not any drugs found on the premises, only a grinder and a jar that supposedly contained marijuana residue, can this be grounds for eviction or could it fall under NC statute G.S. 90-95 (A)(3)?

It can absolutely be grounds for eviction. Any drug arrest on the property falls under Article 7 of Chapter 42 starting at 42-59. This is in addition to whatever rights the landlord retained in the lease.
