Landlord Has Moved Into My Home I Rent
Location: North Carolina
I am currently renting a single family home. My lease includes the entire home except for the master bedroom and master bathroom which are locked and I don't have access too. My rent includes all the utilities and also furniture which was there when I moved in. My lease is from Oct 2025 - Oct 2026. My landlord and her mother have recently moved into the home without giving me any heads up. They claim it is their right since I don't rent the entire home and basically tough shit. The first time this happened was a couple of months ago and they did give me a heads up that they were coming by and staying for a few days, they ended up staying over a week. This time I found out by coming home to find them in there. They moved my belongings including personal stuff like medication. They are being verbally hostile and threatening to call the police and say they feel unsafe with me there. They are basically trying to force me out it seems. We do have a lease but I don't have a copy of it but I do have records from my monthly rent payments on zelle and an email outlining the basics of my lease.
Are they allowed to just come in whenever they want and stay for an indefinite period of time? It is very uncomfortable for me and my two young children who stay with me 50% of the time. I am currently going through a separation and losing my housing right now would be very bad for me. I've looked into it and it seems I do have some rights especially under the "quiet enjoyment" covenant. What can I do and what's my best course of action? I've told her that I would be willing to let her buy me out of my lease for the remaining 6 months of rent and my deposit for $10,500, but it doesn't seem they are going to agree to that.
