North Carolina Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (North Carolina Landlord Kit, North Carolina Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in North Carolina: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in North Carolina, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The North Carolina kits are built only from our North Carolina data files: North Carolina data files, checked November 2026 against 8 official pages, among them North Carolina General Assembly: Chapter 42, Article 6; North Carolina General Assembly: G.S. Chapter 42, Article 1; North Carolina General Assembly: G.S. 42-46 (late fees); North Carolina General Assembly: G.S. Chapter 42 (Landlord and Tenant), full chapter; North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 42, Article 3 (Summary Ejectment); North Carolina Judicial Branch: Landlord/Tenant Issues; North Carolina small claims data file, checked November 2026 against N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 7A Article 19 (Small Claim Actions); N.C. Gen. Stat. 7A-305 Costs in civil actions.
• Eviction Case File Organizer covers every state; the North Carolina kits carry the state rules.
