Check the security deposit against the lease term
For covered rentals, G.S. 42-51 caps the security deposit at two weeks of rent for a week-to-week tenancy, one and a half months of rent for a month-to-month tenancy, and two months of rent for a longer term. Before you pay, ask for the lease term and a written breakdown of the deposit and any application fee.
