North Carolina Landlord Software Built for the Tar Heel State
Managing North Carolina rentals? RentMouse helps you stay compliant with the Residential Rental Agreements Act (Chapter 42), manage trust accounts for security deposits, and navigate the summary ejectment process.
Built for North Carolina's Rental Market
Security Deposit Trust Accounts
North Carolina requires security deposits to be held in a trust account in a licensed bank. RentMouse helps you track these funds separately and maintain compliant records.
Summary Ejectment (Eviction) Support
Navigate the NC summary ejectment process. Generate the required 10-day notice to quit for non-payment or other lease violations before filing in Small Claims Court.
Late Fee Limitations
NC law limits late fees to $15 or 5% of the monthly rent (whichever is greater). Our system automatically calculates compliant late fees so you never overcharge.
Fit and Habitable Premises
Comply with your duty to provide fit and habitable premises (N.C.G.S. § 42-42). Track maintenance requests for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and essential repairs.
Tenant Security Deposit Act
Strict compliance with the Tenant Security Deposit Act. Return deposits within 30 days (or 60 with interim notice) and provide itemized accountings of deductions.
Victim Protection (Domestic Violence)
Handle lease terminations for victims of domestic violence properly as required by NC law. Store documentation securely and privately.

"The late fee calculator is a lifesaver. I used to guess or use a flat fee, but RentMouse ensures I'm always within the 5% limit set by North Carolina law. It keeps me safe from lawsuits."— Robert M., Raleigh Property Manager
