We study the geometric properties of the local homeomorphisms satisfying some generalized modular inequalities. We establish in Theorem 1 that a local homeomorphism f : D ⊂ R n → R n satisfying condition (N ) and having local AC L q inverses, with q > 1, satisfy important modular inequalities. We generalize in this class of mappings known theorems from the theory of quasiregular mappings like Zoric's theorem and the estimate of the radius of injectivity.
