South Carolina Notice of Rent Increase
Give written notice before raising rent on a South Carolina tenancy. Follow the lease and South Carolina notice rules. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.
- Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days’ written notice (S.C. Code Ann. § 27-40-770).
- This notice is not an eviction and not a new lease.
- City rent-control or just-cause rules may still limit the increase.
