Landlord not liable for negligence if tenant did not notify landlord of the dangerous condition

The North Carolina Supreme Court held that a landlord cannot be held liable for negligence in failing to correct a dangerous condition if the tenant has not told the landlord about it so that the landlord had the chance to fix it before it caused harm. Terry v. Pub. Serv. Co. of N.C., Inc., 898 S.E.2d 648 (N.C. 2024).
