AN ACT requiring a longer notice period for a termination of a tenancy for the rental space for residential manufactured homes.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 42‑14 reads as rewritten:
"§ 42‑14.  Notice to quit in certain tenancies.
A tenancy from year to year may be terminated by a notice to quit given one month or more before the end of the current year of the tenancy; a tenancy from month to month by a like notice of seven days; a tenancy from week to week, of two days. Provided, however, where the tenancy involves only the rental of a space for a manufactured home as defined in G.S. 143‑143.9(6), a notice to quit must be given at least 60 days before the end of the current rental period, regardless of the term of the tenancy."
SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective January 1, 2006, and applies to all notices to quit given on or after that date.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 11th day of August, 2005.
