Rental Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Oct 5, 2023

How long is a typical rental agreement?

I am a landlord who is looking to rent out a property I own. I am in the process of drafting a rental agreement but I am unsure of the typical length of a rental agreement. I need to know how long a typical rental agreement is in order to ensure I am making a legally binding agreement.

N'kia N.

Answered Oct 9, 2023

In North Carolina, it is hard to identify a "typical" length of a property rental agreement. A one-year term is quite common for residential rental agreements. However, for commercial rental agreements, duration varies widely. For example, a lease agreement for a suite in a hair salon might be month-to-month while a lease agreement for a medical facility might be for ten years or longer. In and of itself, the length of a property rental agreement does not determine its validity; but it can certainly affect other aspects of the rental relationship. For example, duration might affect whether the rental agreement must be recorded, whether the landlord must have insurance, how much notice one party must give the other in specific circumstances, and even what happens when the lease expires. Once in effect, a faulty rental agreement can leave a landlord with fewer rights and more liability exposure than expected. It might not hurt to have a knowledgeable attorney review a proposed rental agreement before presenting it to a prospective tenant to sign.

Severance Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Jul 13, 2023

Severance agreement and confidentiality of terms?

I recently left my job of five years and was offered a severance agreement. I am now concerned about the confidentiality of the terms of the agreement, as I am worried that the terms of the agreement could be shared with other potential employers. I am seeking legal advice to understand my rights and obligations regarding the confidentiality of the severance agreement.

Shelia H.

Answered Aug 26, 2023

In most cases, a severance agreement will have a confidentiality provision included. However, even if there is a confidentiality agreement, there are some instances where that confidentiality may be broken. For instance, in the case of a court order requesting the release of information or a government agency, such as the IRS or the state taxing or unemployment office, an employer may have to release information. There are also laws that prohibit the release of certain private information. In your case, it sounds as if your employer didn't include a confidentiality provision in the severance agreement, and for contracts, the general rule is that if a provision isn't included in the contract, it's not included in the contract. That being said, you may want to contact the employer and ask what the employer's policy is regarding the release of information to potential employers that you may be seeking to work with. There are also two laws that you may want to consider speaking to a NC-licensed attorney about. They are the following: 1.§ 1-539.12. Immunity from civil liability for employers disclosing information. "(a) An employer who discloses information about a current or former employee's job history or job performance to a prospective employer of the current or former employee upon request of the prospective employer or upon request of the current or former employee is immune from civil liability and is not liable in civil damages for the disclosure or any consequences of the disclosure." 2. § 14-355. Blacklisting employees. "If any person, agent, company or corporation, after having discharged any employee from his or its service, shall prevent or attempt to prevent, by word or writing of any kind, such discharged employee from obtaining employment with any other person, company or corporation, such person, agent or corporation shall be guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00); and such person, agent, company or corporation shall be liable in penal damages to such discharged person, to be recovered by civil action.

Business Contracts

Independent Contractor Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Nov 13, 2023

What are common pitfalls in contractor agreements?

I am a small business owner looking to hire an independent contractor to help with some of my workload. I am concerned about entering into an agreement with the contractor and would like to know more about common pitfalls in contractor agreements so that I can ensure I am entering into a fair and equitable arrangement.

N'kia N.

Answered Nov 14, 2023

In North Carolina, there are numerous potential pitfalls for independent contractor agreements. A few general pitfalls include: 1. Classification: An independent contractor agreement should properly establish that the relationship is intended to be an independent contractor relationship (not an employment relationship). The agreement should include terms and conditions that make the intended nature of the relationship absolutely clear. 2. Compensation: An independent contractor agreement should properly address the contractor's compensation. The agreement should not include references to terms typically reserved for employment relationships (like "salary" or "exempt/non-exempt"). 3. Control: An independent contractor agreement should demonstrate that the hiring party will not control the contractor like it would an employee. The agreement should not include terms and conditions that unlawfully or unnecessarily limit the contractor's rights (like the right to provides services to other clients to generate independent income). 4. Criteria/Qualifications: An independent contractor agreement should establish that the contractor is qualified to provide the services "independently" i.e. without the hiring party providing training or supervision. The agreement should not include terms and conditions that demonstrate an improper degree of control (like probation, performance reviews, or discipline). There are also pitfalls that are based on such factors as the industry or nature of the hiring party's business, the nature of the services the contractor will be performing, or the nature of the relationship between the parties. To be fair and equitable, an independent contractor agreement must respect the various laws governing independent contractor relationships. For example, a worker should not be required to accept a role as an "independent contractor" if the hiring party intends to control the worker like an employee. A North Carolina attorney who is knowledgeable of independent contractor relationships can assist with an independent contractor agreement. Consult with a knowledgeable attorney to help ensure you avoid some common pitfalls in independent contractor agreements.

Service Level Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Dec 26, 2024

Can a company be held liable for not meeting the service level agreement outlined in a contract?

I recently entered into a contract with a software development company to build a custom application for my business. The contract included a service level agreement (SLA) that outlined specific performance metrics and guarantees for the software. However, since the project started, the company has consistently failed to meet these performance metrics, causing significant delays and impacting the functionality of the application. I want to understand if the company can be held legally liable for not meeting the SLA and if I have any recourse to seek compensation or terminate the contract due to their failure to meet the agreed-upon terms.

Jeff G.

Answered Dec 27, 2024

Yes. A SLA in a written contract is part of that contract. And even without a specifically-stated remedy, you may be able to sue for breach. It's not all cut-and-dried, however, as there can be a multitude of other contractual limitations or considerations that would need to be considered after a thorough review of the agreement, the documentation of the work that's been done and any type of waivers provided for missing the SLAs.
