Again, it sounds like you are trying to get validation of discrimination. A notice of 24 hours is reasonable. Just because in the past you had a weeks notice, does not mean the new mgmt. has to follow suite. If you are truly concerned about everyone being treated fair and equal, then contact legal aid. I, however, do not think your motives are as altruistic as you claim.
24 hours is reasonable? In blue states, it is unheard of that you enter someone's apartment/leased building, for any reason unless you agree on a date and time when it is convenient for the both of you. So why would this concept be any different in North Carolina? It isn't a states rights issue. It is a courtesy and common sense one.
I am guessing you get your news and information from Fox and friends.
I seriously don't get this whole thread. I'm a landlord myself and also an attorney. Your accusation seems all over the place. I've seen a lot of tenant complaints and most of them are totally bogus. I doubt very much that you will get whatever it is you want from the legal system.

You are completely wrong about this. In many states, including the blue one whee I used to live, 24 hours notice to the tenant was all that was required and the time did not have to be mutually agreed.
Here is what I found a time ago when my problems began here at my current residence; this is from someone who lived in the bluest of blue states: (really, a Democrat...well I am a lifelong Republican who loves to listen to Rush and FoxNews).
Here is the quote:
Unless your lease states otherwise, the above is EXTREMELY poor and erroneous advice. Consult an experienced Landlord
Tenant attorney in NYC.
You do NOT have any right to *show* the apartment, and tenants are under NO obligation to accommodate a Ll in order to *show* the apartment.
The law and the lease (unless otherwise stipulated and agreed) provides full and COMPLETE occupancy rights to the Tenant for the term of the lease.
LLs can request and demand a *key* to the apartment, but the ONLY circumstance in which the LL is allowed to enter the apartment w/o the consent of the Tenant is upon an EMERGENCY; and, most importantly, an emergency wherepon immediate action is **necessary**.
Examples of an emergency w/b such as a 'gas leak', a water leak causing a flood, which is to distinguish between a *flood* and a slow deteriorating leak (for that you w/n a court order); and any other such similar type of emergency. That is it.
As LL, you have 'ownership rights'. As Tenant, they have 'occupancy rights' as stipulated by the Lease Agreement, which *must* be in compliance with the Law.
That is it.
If you have some suspicion that your property is being neglected then you need to take your supicions and PROOF to court, in order to gain access to the premises, while it is occupied and/or under lease.
If you wish to have *access* in order to *show* the apartment to prospective purchasers and/or renters, then you are at the mercy of your lease agreement and the cooperation of your tenant.
Again, the Tenant is under NO legal obligation to accommodate your desire to *show* the apartment!
I'm actually a registered Democrat but lean more to the left. I really have no patience with Fox news, but I'm not sure why that would matter. I still think you are trying to create a situation where you can benefit monetarily.
Myghost: yes, I would prefer to pay for a lawyer then tuck tail and move; Too many roots here. Cameras? Yes I have them but they just laughed. Now I am just in a waiting game, which is really no way to live, but, I am used to it. SFSpiderman: Well then lets use this opportunity to add a statute to NC law. Ya, something weird about sharing computers with someone, I think they have an id on this board as well. Hats off to this site.
You told your landlord that you have cameras in your apartment? Why in the world would you do that? I'm a landlord in another state, but I would never behave like your landlord does. You really should plan for that attorney visit ASAP. You need to stand up for your rights, and you need to do that now.
