South Carolina rules at a glance

South Carolina rules for a No-Smoking Addendum
Nonpayment eviction notice	5 days — can be given once in the lease itselfS.C. Code §27-40-710(B)
Nonpayment of rent	If rent isn’t paid within 5 days of the due date, the landlord may terminate after written notice. That notice can be given once per lease — and it’s satisfied entirely by a conspicuous clause in the lease: “IF YOU DO NOT PAY YOUR RENT ON TIME. This is your notice. If you do not pay your rent within five days of the due date, the landlord can start to have you evicted. You will get no other notice as long as you live in this rental unit.” (§27-40-710(B)).
Lease violations	For other material noncompliance, a written notice specifying the breach and giving the tenant 14 days to remedy it before the lease terminates (§27-40-710(A)).
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).

Nonpayment of rent — If rent isn’t paid within 5 days of the due date, the landlord may terminate after written notice. That notice can be given once per lease — and it’s satisfied entirely by a conspicuous clause in the lease: “IF YOU DO NOT PAY YOUR RENT ON TIME. This is your notice. If you do not pay your rent within five days of the due date, the landlord can start to have you evicted. You will get no other notice as long as you live in this rental unit.” (§27-40-710(B)).
Lease violations — For other material noncompliance, a written notice specifying the breach and giving the tenant 14 days to remedy it before the lease terminates (§27-40-710(A)).
Holdover — A bad-faith holdover lets the landlord recover attorney’s fees; a willful one, up to three months’ rent or twice actual damages, whichever is greater (§27-40-770(c)).
Military — Servicemembers with qualifying orders may terminate early under the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 U.S.C. §3955).
Domestic abuse by a cotenant — Under Act 184 of 2026, a tenant who is a victim of domestic abuse by a cotenant on the same lease may end their future obligations under the lease by written notice, backed by a restraining order, protection order or conviction, within 60 days of the incident. Termination takes effect at least 30 days after the landlord receives the notice; the tenant owes rent through that date and any damage they caused, but no early-termination penalties or fees (§27-40-350).

What notice is required to evict for nonpayment in South Carolina?

Five days. If rent isn’t paid within 5 days of the due date, the landlord may terminate after written notice — and a conspicuous statutory clause in the lease counts as that notice for the whole tenancy, including a month-to-month holdover (§27-40-710(B)).
