If you and your adult child do not have a written rental or lease agreement, your child is a guest in your home. You may ask a guest to leave at any time. If the guest does not leave, you can call the police to have them arrested for trespassing. However, before calling the police, talk with a landlord-tenant attorney.

If you choose not to fight the eviction or if you lose your case in court and do not appeal the decision, then the court will issue a Writ of Ejectment within five days of the hearing. A Writ of Ejectment is a legal paper that says you must move or the sheriff will remove you and your belongings from the property.

In South Carolina and a number of other states, there is no cap on the amount rent can increase?although landlords can't raise the rent during the fixed term of a lease unless the lease specifically permits that.

To terminate the tenancy of a month-to-month tenant, the landlord must give the tenant a 30-day notice. This notice must inform the tenant that the landlord is terminating the month-to-month tenancy and that the tenant must move out by a certain date, not less than 30 days from the date of the notice.

Permitted Times: Landlords may only enter at reasonable times (SC Stat. § 27-40-530(c)). Entry without consent is also permitted between a.m. and p.m. to provide regularly scheduled maintenance services and between a.m. and p.m. to provide services requested by the tenant.

If rent is not paid when due, the landlord may end the rental agreement and start eviction proceedings if the landlord has given 5 days written notice, and the rent is not paid within that time. However, the landlord only has to give written notice that the rent is past due one time during the lease term.
