Can a realitor not take me off a lease even though I gave him a 30 day notice?I moved out of my home in North Carolina, its been a month. My...

If two people are on the lease, both would have to sign
the 30 day notice and a new lease would have to be drawn up with only the name of the
remaining party.  It sounds like part of that was done.  It is possible that the
real-estate company does not want the hassle of drawing up a new lease; however, that is
their legal obligation once notice has been given in a timely fashion. 

Before the lease is terminated, it is general practice that a
walk-through or inspection be completed of the property.  Of course, this doesn't
necessarily have to occur before you move, but generally is completed before the end of
the lease term.  If you moved on the 10th and the lease ended on the 18th, the property
owner still had the right to complete the inspection without your presence.  He/she
would have had to right to claim that there were damages and then refuse to return your
security deposit; however, I don't believe the property owner has the right to refuse to
complete the inspection.  Since you gave notice in accordance with your lease, you
should be released from the contract.
