HB 990 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Notice Requirements for Landlord Fees.

HB 990 requires North Carolina landlords to provide written notice to tenants before charging certain late fees. Landlords must deliver this notice (via hand, mail, or agreed electronic means) detailing the fee amount, the specific past-due payment, and the date the fee was assessed - before collecting it. The bill applies to late fees for rent payments that are five or more days overdue, capping fees at $15 or 5% of monthly rent (or $4 or 5% weekly). This law takes effect October 1, 2025, directly affecting residential landlords and tenants in the state.
