Can I get my security deposit back when I move out?

Under North Carolina law, a landlord must return the tenant's security deposit within 30 days after the tenant has moved out. If the landlord's claim against the deposit can't be finalized within that time (for example, if necessary repairs haven't been completed), the landlord may send an interim accounting at the 30-day point and then a final accounting within 60 days of the tenancy's termination.
