South Carolina Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is built with South Carolina as the governing state. These are the South Carolina landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.
South Carolina rules at a glance
| Lead-based paint | Federal warning and known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d). |
|---|---|
| Landlord entry | 24 hours’ notice, with exceptions for scheduled and requested servicesS.C. Code §27-40-530 |
| Scheduled-service entry | If you want the right to enter for regular services without 24 hours’ notice, it must be conspicuously written into the lease (§27-40-530(b)(2)). |
Landlord entry & access
Except as noted below, a South Carolina landlord must give at least 24 hours’ notice of the intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times; the landlord can’t abuse the right of access to harass the tenant (S.C. Code §27-40-530(c)).
- Emergencies — Entry is allowed at any time in an emergency — and approaching weather that threatens the property can count as one (§27-40-530(b)(1)).
- Scheduled services — Entry between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. for regularly scheduled services such as filter changes or pest treatment, without 24 hours’ notice, is allowed only if that right is conspicuously stated in writing in the lease and the landlord announces the entry beforehand (§27-40-530(b)(2)).
- Tenant-requested services — Entry between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. to perform services the tenant asked for, with an announcement beforehand (§27-40-530(b)(3)).
- Locks — A tenant may not change the locks without the landlord’s permission (§27-40-530(e)).
- Abuse of access — Knowing unlawful entry or repeated harassing demands let the tenant get an injunction or terminate, plus actual damages and attorney’s fees; a tenant who refuses lawful access faces the same remedies (§27-40-780).
Required disclosures in South Carolina

- Owner / agent identity — At or before the start of the tenancy, the name and address of an owner or authorized agent for service of process and notices, kept current (S.C. Code §27-40-420).
- Deposit standards — Landlords with more than four adjoining units who vary deposits between tenants must disclose the standards used (§27-40-410(c)).
- Scheduled-service entry — If you want the right to enter for regular services without 24 hours’ notice, it must be conspicuously written into the lease (§27-40-530(b)(2)).
