- Demand for rent. For nonpayment, the lease is forfeited if the tenant fails to pay within 10 days after the landlord demands all past-due rent. (N.C. Gen. Stat. §42-3)
- File summary ejectment. File the complaint with the clerk of superior court in the county; serve by sheriff or certified mail. (NC Judicial Branch: Small Claims)
- Magistrate hearing and appeal. A magistrate hears the case. A party may appeal to district court within 10 days of judgment. (N.C. Gen. Stat. §7A-228)
