30 days rent-increase notice.
North Carolina has no rent control (preempted statewide). Month-to-month increases require notice equal to the rent period (commonly 30 days).
What this means for you: Rent can rise by any amount at renewal.
Your next step: Confirm proper notice for a month-to-month change.
