    No Lease Can I Leave With Out 30 Day Notice?
    My question involves a roommate in the State of: North Carolina

    I have been staying at a house since this past March. I was not "living" there because my possessions were located at the place I had a rental agreement with at another residence. Then after 3 months I moved all my stuff in and was to pay X amount of money for rent and utilities to share a room with my significant other. There is another roommate who handles the money and her mother owns the house. Then the SO and I separated and I moved into another room in the house with out any change in what I was paying for.

    The living conditions have become almost unlivable (there are bugs and rodents and holes in doors and the landlady's possessions-which can only be described as trash- all over the house) due to this I've been looking for a new place to live.

    I found something better but it would require me to give a 12 day notice.

    I was wondering if I legally had to give a 30 day notice because there was no formal contract made what so ever. The daughter of the landlady told my former significant other what he and I should pay, and he told me. I've been paying that for 3 months now.

    I should mention I've made several attempts in the past couple days to contact the landlady's daughter, but she is not made herself available at all for me to address the health and safety issues. I still need to contact her mother, who actually owns the house, but I wanted to find out if I could just leave for greener pastures with out going through the brush.

    well, first, you do have a lease. It is a verbal one but you still have one.

    In North Carolina, from what I have found, you are required to give a 7 day notice when terminating your lease.
