A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT ACCEPTANCE OF RENT BY A HOUSING AUTHORITY IS NOT A WAIVER OF DEFAULT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 157-29 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"( d)	The receipt or acceptance of rent by an authority, with or without knowledge of a prior default or failure by the tenant under a rental agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver of that default or failure, unless the authority expressly agrees in writing."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective with respect to rent accepted on or after July 1, 1994, but enactment of this act shall not be construed to imply that current law waives default by acceptance of rent.
