Who it is for
Landlords and property managers with rentals in South Carolina, and tenants who want the same record, from move-in through move-out or a court case.
Not the right fit if
Your rental is outside South Carolina: get that state's kit. Not legal advice, not a lawyer's review of a lease, notice or court case, and not a set of legal notice forms; city and county rules aren't covered.
Why it is different
- Built only from our South Carolina data files, checked November 2026 against 3 official pages, among them South Carolina Legislature: Code Title 27, Chapter 40; South Carolina Code of Laws, Title 27, Chapter 37 (Ejectment of Tenants); S.C. Code of Laws Title 22 Chapter 3 (2024 archive).
- 8 items the official pages didn't state are marked "not confirmed" with the page to check, never guessed.
- The workbook recalculates with zero formula errors and works out South Carolina notice and deposit dates for you.
What is inside
- Start here. How to use the kit, the 15 confirmed South Carolina rules at a glance and the 8 items to confirm: interest on the deposit, where the deposit is held, court, filing fee, hearing after filing, paying to stop the case, right to counsel (statewide), diversion or mediation (statewide), each with the official page to check.
- South Carolina landlord rules checklist. Deposits, notice periods, the eviction case and the small claims limit, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date. What it confirms: deposit limit: No maximum in 27-40-410; return deadline: Within 30 days after the tenancy ends, possession is delivered and the tenant asks, or 30 days after the tenant's demand if later (27-40-410(a)); itemized list of deductions: Deductions itemized in a written notice with the amount due (27-40-410(a)); penalty the law states: Three times the amount wrongfully withheld, plus reasonable attorney fees (27-40-410(b)); ending month-to-month (landlord): Written notice at least 30 days before the termination date in the notice (7 days for week-to-week); ending month-to-month (tenant): Written notice at least 30 days before the termination date in the notice (7 days for week-to-week); rent increase notice: Chapter 40 sets no notice period for rent increases (27-40-910 covers retaliation only); unpaid rent notice: If rent stays unpaid five days from the date due, after written notice of nonpayment and intent to terminate.
- Move-in and move-out deposit checklist. A room-by-room condition checklist for both visits and the steps after move-out, with South Carolina's return deadline (within 30 days).
- Notice calendar. When each notice must go out: the lead time for every notice the state's text confirms, with a 2027 month-by-month serve-by table worked out with our notice date calculator's rules.
- Eviction timeline sheet. The South Carolina case in order from notice to lockout, with each confirmed stage, an example dated from a sample filing day where the rules give periods, and blanks for your own case dates.
- South Carolina landlord workbook (Excel). A tenant notice log that dates each notice from the South Carolina rules, a deposit tracker that works out the return date for each move-out, and a rent ledger with a running balance.
