Some of those previous links to North Carolina laws are broken, but I have found a few more that are useful.

North Carolina State University :: Visit NC State

If that link above does not work, use the search feature on the site for landlord tenant laws.

North Carolina General Assembly - General Statutes - Chapter 42: Landlord and Tenant.

LANC - Brochures

An Termination Fee or liquidated damages clause in a lease is legal in some states, such as Florida and Georgia.

Florida Passes Flat Fee Early Lease Termination Law | Miami Florida Law Firm

Guidance on Implementing the Early Lease Termination Law

Breaking lease under new law could prove costly to renters » TCPalm.com


Georgia Legal Aid http://www.georgialegalaid.org/resou...swers-to-commo


I have also found several other websites talking about how an early termination fee is not uncommon and legal in some locations.
