A North Carolina Association of Realtors lease agreement is a contract written by a Realtor for a rental arrangement between a landlord and a tenant. The Realtor will represent either the landlord or tenant and will be in charge of showing the property, negotiating the lease, and performing a credit check through a rental application. After the Realtor delivers the tenant’s credit information to the landlord, and if approved, a lease will be written and signed.
