Major NARPM Victory in North Carolina – North Carolina’s Expedited Removal Law Signed

On August 6, 2025, North Carolina Governor Josh Stein signed Senate Bill 55 (SL 2025-88) into law, marking a significant legislative win for property owners and managers across the state. The bill, titled “Expedited Removal of Unauthorized Persons,” streamlines the legal process for removing individuals unlawfully occupying residential properties, enhancing protections for landlords and property managers. NARPM strongly supported the measure, recognizing its importance in safeguarding property rights. NARPM initiated three targeted calls to action in which a significant number of NARPM members emailed, called, and/or tweeted support for the legislation.
