Apartment Complex is Charging Me Rent Without a Lease | Aug 21, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: North Carolina, USA My apartment complex was taken over by a new company back in March. The old owners sent out emails fairly regularly on what to expect in recent weeks, events, and most importantly, document requests. Since March, I have heard nothing from this new company. My lease for the apartment I’ve been at for 2 years expired July 5th. I didn’t get an email about renewal until July 15th, 10 days after my lease had already expired. I got a generic email stating my lease expired and I’m now on a month to month rent that’s charging me an extra $450/mo. They stated I have to submit some pay stubs and forms and I can renew. I did this within 48 hours and heard nothing. I’ve gone into my leasing office several times to fix this, they have all of the documentation needed for lease renewal, yet they just won’t send me a new lease. I’ve talked to 3 different people at the office, all stating I need to talk to the property manager (who’s either always in meetings or out in another office and they won’t let me talk to her directly whenever I ask), so I’m not sure what to do. I’ve gone in about 6 times now, sent 2 emails, and several phone calls. I’ve been told they won’t charge me the additional month-to-month rent, just my usual fee until it’s all sorted. However this was told to me verbally, not in writing. So…
Delivery of premise | Aug 19, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina Hi all, I need some advice on next steps here, as I can't seem to get a local attorney to take a paid consultation at the moment. This is regarding tenancy rights in North Carolina / early lease termination / delivery of premise Our lease in Raleigh North Carolina began on August 1. WE relocated from another state on the 13th, and arrived at the house late on the 14th. Upon entry of the home the house was left filthy from previous tenants, and lack of landlord cleaning. Dead roaches in all bedrooms / live roaches. Mold in the bathroom on window sill, and on the ceiling along with pealing / failing paint around moldy areas. Dirt and buildup on all crown molding / trim from years of neglect / cleaning from previous tenants. Human and animal hair throughout the house, and toilet left in unsanitary conditions around exterior of toilet and flooring. The windows do not properly seal / close throughout the home as they are very old windows. The ac receivers that blow forced air into the home are "ajar" and not connected to their brackets and just sitting to the side n different locations of the home. The home reeks of cigarettes and animals. The flooring is 3 layers of linoleum flooring and is peeling up across the kitchen and dining areas. In the corner of the dining room area the flooring was peeling up particularly bad so I lifted the flooring up…
[North Carolina] Early lease termination without penalty due to uninhabitable apartment. | Aug 12, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Concord North Carolina. I am in Cabarrus county North Carolina. I have an apartment lease that has multiple issues. I moved in June 2025 and just resigned my lease till July 2027. The most concerning one is a consistent water leak(s) from the ceiling above the upstairs A/C unit, as well as a leak from my A/C unit. I have also been experiencing lots of allergy like symptoms, it is a no smoke complex yet my downstairs neighbor smoke, and the previous tenants in my unit smoked and it took over three months to resolve and remove the cigarette smell that was causing me headaches. Most other issues have been fixed promptly, but I’ve had 15 service issues in one year and one month. However, given this most recent water leak and how the ceiling is incredibly soft and breaking apart, I’m worried about mold, considering I’ve already been getting sickness and what my options are for terminating the lease early. With out penalties. This is my first apartment and have never gone to anything like this. My lease states that if I terminate early, I have to pay the rent until someone moves into my unit. However, my complex appears to have pretty high vacancy. Thanks for your assistance!
Howdy y’all, I have to break my first ever lease and I’m wondering if I can get some help translating this? | Aug 12, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit

Apartment complex is charging me more than the total monthly payment listed on my signed lease extension addendum. Do I have any legal recourse? (North Carolina) | Aug 8, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: North Carolina, USA Actions I have taken: I signed a lease extension addendum for my apartment. On the addendum, it lists: Unit Rent: $1,645 Services/Amenities/Internet: $243.75 Total Monthly Payment: $1,645 The numbers are clearly inconsistent because $1,645 + $243.75 does not equal $1,645. However, the document explicitly states that the Total Monthly Payment is $1,645, and that is the version I signed. The leasing agent at the time also told me in person that my rent would be $1,645 per month, which matched what I saw on the addendum. I relied on that when I agreed to renew my lease. After I renewed, management began charging me about $1,889/month, which is the unit rent plus the services fee. When I asked about it, management said the services fee is considered part of my “utilities” and therefore part of my monthly payment. Here’s why that explanation doesn’t make sense to me: I pay my electric bill separately. I also pay separate monthly water and sewer charges based on usage. The lease specifically states that utilities are not included in the monthly payment and may be billed separately. The services fee appears to be a fixed charge for amenities/internet, not utility usage. To make things more confusing, I later found another version of the lease that shows the total monthly payment as approximately $1,889, but I never signed that version. The only addendum I signed is the one showing the total monthly payment as $1,645. My questions: Does the signed addendum…
