§ 23-39. Owner's responsibility.

Latest version.

The owner of every premises shall be responsible and liable for the actions of his tenants of which the owner has knowledge when such actions violate this article. A letter from the sheriff's department or county attorney's office enumerating tenant violation or a copy of a prior citation issued to the tenant shall be provided to the landlord to give actual notice of the existence of a violation under this article. Thereafter, such violation by his tenants shall result in owner responsibility under this article. However, violations by his tenants shall subject the owner only to civil penalties and/or civil action set forth in section 23-40, and G.S. 153A-123(a), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g), and the owner shall not incur criminal penalties for violations by his tenants. This owner's responsibility provision shall in no way relieve any tenant from liability for any violations of this article.
