A summary of South Carolina rules for security deposits, entry notice, late fees, rent increases, and required disclosures.
This is a general summary for informational purposes, not legal advice. Laws change and local ordinances can add requirements beyond state law — verify current rules with your state's official statutes or an attorney before relying on this for an actual tenancy.
South Carolina leaves more to the lease than many states: there's no fixed statewide cap on security deposits or late fees, with 'reasonable and disclosed in the lease' as the governing standard instead of a hard number — meaning the lease itself is doing more legal work here than in states with fixed statutory caps.
LeasePilot HQ's lease generator applies South Carolina-specific clauses and disclosures automatically.
