Tenants responsibilities

I have tenants in NC that are suppose to maintain the property according to Lease, They were told a few times last year to maintain it, so I gave them a written notice of how much it will cost to do it and time frame to clean it, cut, trim, rake. I went back later to see and nothing was done. Can I charge them to have it done?, can I take it out of the security deposit? any help thanks

Yes, you can take this from the security deposit at the end of the lease. Be sure to itemize expenses and have receipts as well as a record of the notices that you sent. You can also take this to a small claims court if need be to collect any money that the security does not cover.
