NC H41

Clarifies that occupants of hotels, motels, recreational vehicle parks, campgrounds, and similar transient lodgings do not create a tenancy and are excluded from Chapter 42 (landlord-tenant law) of North Carolina General Statutes.

Defines "transient occupancy" as rental of an accommodation for fewer than 90 consecutive days to the same guest or occupant.

Establishes that written agreements for transient occupancies can set occupancy time periods and allow innkeepers to restrain guests from entering and remove property without liability after the agreed period expires.

Exempts transient occupancies from Article provisions previously applicable to hotel, motel, or similar lodgings regulated by the Commission for Public Health.

Becomes effective upon enactment and applies to rentals on or after that date, with rental periods calculated from the first day of consecutive occupation regardless of when the period began.
