Eviction Notices in South Carolina
South Carolina's eviction process is governed by the South Carolina Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. For nonpayment of rent, landlords must serve a 5-day notice before filing for eviction.
South Carolina courts require compliance with statutory notice and filing procedures. Self-help evictions are prohibited, and a landlord must obtain a court judgment before removing a tenant.
