Enacts new subdivision (4) to GS 42-26(a), which allows removal of holdover tenants or lessees in certain cases, to also allow removal when the sole tenant or lessee under the terms of the written lease dies and the tenant’s or lessee’s personal property remains in the demised premises. Allows a landlord to bring an action for summary ejectment in that situation under three detailed conditions.
Amends GS 42-25.7 to allow a landlord to permit the next of kin of a deceased residential tenant or lessee to enter the leased unit and remove personal property if: (1) the deceased was the sole tenant or lessee in the unit and (2) the next of kin seeking entry can establish by reasonably reliable information that he or she is a parent, child, or sibling of the deceased tenant or lessee. Provides immunity from civil or criminal liability to a landlord who, in good faith, allows the next of kin to enter and remove personal property. Specifies that no duty or obligation is imposed on a landlord to permit the next of kin to enter the unit or to remove personal property from the unit. Also clarifies that the statute does not make the landlord liable to the next of kin, or prevent the landlord from bringing a summary ejectment action.

Makes a conforming change throughout the statute, changing all 10-day time periods to 5-day time periods.
Enacts new subsection (e) to GS 42-44, stating that a landlord’s acceptance of any rent or housing subsidy payment, where the payment is less than the full amount owed by the tenant, will never be a defense to summary ejectment action. Enacts new subsection (f) to GS 42-44, stating that a landlord’s acceptance of any rent or housing subsidy payment will not constitute an unfair and deceptive trade practice under GS Chapter 75.
Amends GS 42-50, clarifying that tenant security deposits must be deposited in a trust account that is a demand deposit account in a federally insured bank, which makes account records available for inspection by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission (currently, the monies must be deposited with a licensed and insured bank or savings institution in NC), or the landlord may provide a bond from an insurance company licensed to do business in NC. Makes a clarifying change.
Amends GS 42-51, which lists permitted uses for security deposits, to also allow coverage of authorized fees permitted by GS 42-46. Clarifies that the deposit can pay for damage to the premises, including damage to or destruction of smoke or carbon monoxide detectors, and cover the costs of re-renting the premises after a breach, including any fees or commissions paid to a licensed real estate broker. Makes clarifying and conforming changes.

Constitutional Amendment. Current law provides for the election of judges of the Superior Court, judges of the Court of Appeals, and justices of the Supreme Court. This act creates a new appointment and retention process for vacancies of Superior Court Judges, Court of Appeals Judges, and Supreme Court Justices. To fill such a vacancy, the Governor will appoint a person from among two nominees from the Judicial Nominating Commission (Commission) for a term that extends through January 31 after the next statewide election for members of the General Assembly that is held more than 210 days after the vacancy. That election will be between the two candidates nominated by the Commission, with the winning candidate elected to a regular term.

Makes an incumbent who was successful in a contested election or in a retention election and files for retention by February 1 of the election year, subject to approval by nonpartisan ballot. The regular term of office for judges on the superior court and appellate division judges and justices is eight years, expiring on January 31. If the voters fail to approve the retention of the judge or justice by a majority of votes cast, the office will become vacant at the end of the term and the Governor will appoint a replacement as detailed above.

If the person continues to serve for the remainder of the term, that person may stand for retention in the office for a succeeding regular term as provided, subject to the provisions of law relating to mandatory retirement. If the person continues to serve for the remainder of the term but does not stand for retention election, a vacancy is created in the office upon expiration of the term, and this vacancy shall be filled by nomination and appointment as provided. The term of office of a person appointed before January 1, 2013, to a vacancy occurring during the period beginning on the sixtieth day before the 2012 general election and ending December 31, 2012, to the office of Chief Justice, Associate Justice, or Judge of the Appellate Division for a term which extends beyond January 1, 2013, and who is in office on December 31, 2012, shall end on January 31, 2015. If such person wishes to remain in office at the end of that term, he or she must sit for a retention election as specified at the statewide election for members of the General Assembly held in 2014. Vacancies occurring in the appellate division before January 1, 2012, will be filled by the nomination and appointment procedure detailed above.
