North Carolina Source of income discrimination

Last reviewed 2026-10-23

Can a landlord refuse Section 8 or other source of income in North Carolina?

Counties and cities may not ban landlords from refusing tenants because their rent is paid partly with federal housing assistance (N.C. Gen. Stat. 42-14.1(b)). No state statute barring source-of-income discrimination was found in Chapter 42, reviewed by full-text search.
