My question involves an eviction in the state of: North Carolina
I have an apartment with everything in my name, the rent, the cable, the electric. My older brother has been staying with me since I rented this apartment in April 2009. In October he paid his share of the September bills to me late. Since then he hasn't paid anything. On Nov. 12 I told him he needed to pay up or get out but didn't set a date. 2 weeks later on the 22nd I told him he needed to pay up or get out by the first. On Friday the 27th I disconnected the cable/internet because he hadn't paid. He called me at work and cursed me and threatened me. When I got home I called the police to escort me inside. Everything went fine. Also, when the police were here I told them about what was going on and they said that if I asked him to leave with them here and he wouldn't that they would take him to jail. By Sunday evening I realized that he wasn't here and that his door was locked with a knob requiring a key. I called almost daily the only contact number I had, with no answer. On Friday I changed the front door locks. Later that evening I received another call at work saying that I couldn't do that. He has bothered me off and on since last Friday about if I was going to change the lock back, give him a key to the new one, or not let him back in at all. I don't want him here, but I will gladly allow him entry to get his belongings. Can I do that or do I have to allow him to continue to live here rent free? Also, I talked to a lawyer today and they said that he had no rights since I was offering to let him get his stuff. Please help me asap. Thanks
