What South Carolina law says

Lease Agreements

South Carolina sets no statutory cap on security deposits (S.C. Code §27-40-410), but requires an itemized statement and refund within 30 days of lease termination — bad-faith withholding can cost the landlord up to 3x the amount plus attorney fees.

Eviction Notices

South Carolina requires a 5-day notice to pay rent before an eviction case can be filed for non-payment, unless the lease already contains the specific statutory notice language (S.C. Code §27-40-710(B)).

LLC Formation

Unlike most states, South Carolina does not require most LLCs to file an annual report or pay a franchise tax — the main exception is LLCs that elect S-corp or C-corp tax treatment.

Wills & Estates

South Carolina requires two witnesses for a valid will and does not recognize purely holographic (handwritten, unwitnessed) wills. It is not a community property state — assets are divided under equitable distribution rules.

Laws change frequently, so always consult a licensed local attorney before executing a legal document.
