North Carolina· Answer
Must a North Carolina landlord provide an itemized statement of deductions?
Short answer
Yes. If the landlord withholds any portion of the deposit, North Carolina requires a written itemized statement listing each deduction and its amount within 60 days of move-out, under NCGS 42-52.

Honest limits
This is an informational answer based on NCGS 42-52 as of early 2026. It is not legal advice. Housing law changes year to year and local ordinances (especially in rent-controlled or rent-stabilized cities) can override or add to state law. For contested cases, consult a North Carolina-licensed attorney.
