I have a tenant not paying rent. Help!

I live in North Carolina. My wife is deceased, and our property is in her name. I have completed all necessary estate requirements with my attorney, and I am the administrator of the estate. I need a quitclaim document that does not require the grantor’s signature.

A white female student stalked and harassed me for half a year. The university placed a no-contact directive on her, and she violated it.

What is the scope of the Invention Agreement I signed for my current employer?

I just want to make sure that I am doing everything legally. We have a tenant in a commercial building that is 2 months behind in rent and has been habitually late paying rent for almost the entirety of the lease, which was initiated last April. We gave him a 45-day lease (not yet signed) on April 14th and again on April 17th. We were attempting to give him an opportunity to get caught up on rent by 5/31/2025 before offering a more long-term lease. At that time, he was 3 months behind in rent. In the agreement, he was supposed to pay rent due for March on 5/1/2025—or at least make a payment toward the amount due. When I contacted him on 5/2/2025 to inquire about the rent, I got a return message saying he was unable to pay. So, since technically there is no signed lease agreement at this time, am I proceeding correctly by providing a 14-day notice to quit for non-payment? We are not really interested in proceeding with a lease agreement any longer. But, if he can repay the amount that is behind within 14 days, can we proceed with an additional notice to quit after? Since there is no longer a lease agreement, are we required to give him longer than 14 days to vacate if he manages to pay the amount in arrears?

Trying to determine if I should sue a hospital for a misdiagnosis…

I recently started a family business. We started a contract outlining positions. Can you tell me if it is official?

I served my Tenant with a 14-day Demand for Rent or Quit Notice (I'm not sure that's the "Official" Title) on Monday. His date to pay is 5/19/2025. His lease expired 4/15/2025, and we attempted to allow him to catch up on his rent with a 45-day lease that he refused to abide by and did not sign. There is a section in the original lease pertaining to Liens, stating that the Tenant gives the Landlord a lien for the Tenant's "personal property located on the premises." Since the original lease expired in April, is that something we are still able to enforce if he does not pay the past-due rent by 5/19/2025, as stated on the 14-day notice I gave him last Monday? Or, is there anything we can do with his property that he has inside and outside the premises if he doesn't pay? Can we prevent him from removing any of the equipment and/or tools that he brought with him in lieu of payment?
