Protect Legal South Carolina Evictions Forms For Free

A South Carolina five (5) day notice to quit (non-payment) is a legal notice requiring a tenant to pay past-due rent within five (5) days or risk being evicted.

Tenants can use the South Carolina Tenant Notice to Vacate Form to inform landlords and property managers of their intention to vacate the rental property at least 30 days before they intend to move out, or longer if required by the terms of their South Carolina Lease Agreement.

You must submit an affidavit and pay a filing fee of $40.00 when you file the action. The Court will issue an Order to Show Cause which will be attached to your affidavit and served upon the tenant requiring him to either vacate the premises or show cause by requesting a hearing date.

Grounds for ejectment of tenant. (A) The tenant may be ejected upon application of the landlord or his agent when (1) the tenant fails or refuses to pay the rent when due or when demanded, (2) the term of tenancy or occupancy has ended, or (3) the terms or conditions of the lease have been violated.

If you do not pay rent, violate the rental agreement, or stay in the rental property after the lease term has ended, your landlord can start the eviction process. Your landlord must first give you a written notice to vacate the rental property.

After the notice period has passed, the landlord may file for a Rule/Order to Show Cause. Successful evictions rely on correct filings, so the landlord must file all the forms correctly. ing to South Carolina state law, filing fees cost about $40 for the Rule to Show Cause. A Writ of Ejectment costs an extra $10.
