can i evict tenant in north carolina because i no longer want to deal with them while still under contract?

By sendtina

i no longer can afford to keep calling plumbings to my rental house for complaints made by my tenants. it’s very expensive. everytime tenants called me about plumbing i always get it resolve by calling a professional plumbers to fix the issues but then tenants would not be satisfy at all. he still calls me and complains how the professional plumbers are doing their job right. but the report that i recieved from the plumbers states that after the work is being done all plumbing is working fine and properly.

Sorry to tell you that you are bound by your lease agreement as much as your tenant. Without probable cause you can’t legally evict your tenant. Also, he might be telling the truth and it’s the plumber who is taking you for a ride. Have you considered calling out a different company just to verify that? I had to call 3 different AC companies on one 5 year old system last summer just to get it done right and the 1st guy was someone I had been using for 3 years already so it does happen.
The only other advice I could give you is for you and your tenant to agree together for him to move out but you will have to agree to refund his deposit as if it were the end of the lease. And make sure you get his agreement as well as yours in writing with each of you receiving a full executed copy.
