OUTCOME: Client prevailed
Plaintiff commercial tenant brought suit in Wake County against its landlord and a neighboring tenant for breach of lease and various business torts. The defendants moved for a change of venue pursuant ... to G.S. 1-76, which provides that venue for actions for recovery of an interest in real property is the county in which the property is situated. The change of venue was denied, and the court of appeals affirmed, holding that because the claim “merely seeks interpretation and enforcement of the terms of a lease, as opposed to termination of the lease, [it] is transitory for venue purposes.” Therefore the action fell within G.S. 1-82, and was properly brought in the county in which the plaintiff resided.
