What rights do I have as a landlord or a tenant?

Legal assistance attorneys are knowledgeable in all areas of landlord and tenant law. Some of the basic questions that come up with our clients include:

• What do I do when I get an eviction notice?
• What do I do when my lease is up?
• The heating/air conditioning/fridge/stove is not working, what are my rights?
• My tenant stopped paying rent, how do I evict them?
• My landlord comes in and out of the property without telling me, what are my rights?
• I am afraid of not getting my security deposit back, how do I go about making sure I get my security deposit?

The South Carolina Bar Association makes available a basic overview of your rights as a tenant or a landlord in South Carolina.
