What are the rights of a tenant when a landlord’s property is taken?

In North Carolina, tenants who occupy a property that is subject to an eminent domain action have certain rights under the law. Tenants have the right to receive fair compensation from the government that is taking the property for their relocation and any damage caused to the property, as well as any other costs incurred due to the eminent domain process. In addition, tenants are entitled to receive at least 60 days’ notice of the eminent domain action and to remain in the property until the eminent domain is completed and proper compensation has been paid. In some cases, the government taking the property may offer the tenant a new lease, lease extension, or relocation assistance if the tenant needs to move. However, in all cases, tenants must be provided notice of the eminent domain action and must receive fair compensation for any damages. In the event that a tenant chooses to vacate the property before the eminent domain is completed, the tenant is entitled to receive the same amount of compensation as if the tenant remained until the completion of the process. Tenants should not be misled or misled into leaving the property before the eminent domain process is complete. All tenants have the right to be informed of their rights and the law should be followed to ensure that their rights are not violated. If a tenant feels that their rights have been violated or if they have not received a fair deal, they may take legal action to ensure that their rights are protected.
