A South Carolina rental application is provided by a landlord to applicants seeking to find a qualified tenant to rent a property. The landlord will commonly request a non-refundable fee to process the application and run a credit check and any other reports. Once the income and employment are verified, the landlord will make a decision whether or not to approve the tenant.
Laws
- Application Fee – There is no maximum amount to the non-refundable fee (no statute).
- Security Deposit – There is no maximum limit on the required security deposit amount (§ 27-40-410).
