Under North Carolina law, most contracts do not need to be in writing to be enforceable. However, there are several exceptions to that rule. For example, contracts for the sale of land, promises to pay the debt of another, contracts for the sale of goods for $500 or more, and several other types of agreements must be in writing. It is always best practice to memorialize your agreement in writing regardless of whether the law requires it.

Generally, the landlord is responsible for maintaining the common areas of a commercial center. However, the landlord may require a commercial tenant to cover a portion of the costs associated with common area maintenance.

The terms of the commercial lease dictate who is responsible for maintaining the leased space. Therefore, you should read the lease to determine who must maintain what. If the lease is silent on this point, then the tenant must maintain the space it is renting. North Carolina law does not require a commercial landlord to maintain the rented space unless the lease states otherwise. A residential landlord, however, does have specific maintenance responsibilities under North Carolina law.
