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).
