South Carolina month-to-month leases offer flexibility by automatically renewing each month and can be ended anytime with proper written notice. Unlike fixed-term leases with set end dates, these agreements provide adaptability for both landlords and tenants but less predictability. Often called short-term rental agreements, they require landlords to follow state laws and include key contract details to protect all parties involved.

Required Landlord Disclosures (3)
1. Lead paint disclosure: For most rentals built before 1978, landlords must disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards before either party signs the lease. This is the only federally mandated disclosure.
2. Landlord’s contact information: South Carolina law requires leases to include the name and address of the landlord or their authorized agent. If that information changes, the landlord must update the necessary documents and notify the tenant (SC Code § 27-40-420).
3. Unequal deposits: If a landlord owns four or more adjacent units in the same building, they must charge the same security deposit for each unit. If deposits vary, the landlord must either explain the difference in the lease or post the criteria somewhere visible on the property (SC Code § 27-40-410).
Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement
Because South Carolina’s month-to-month rental agreements don’t have set end dates, landlords and tenants must abide by state-specific rules when providing notice to terminate the contract.
Required notice for the landlord: At least 30 days of advance notice
Required notice for the tenant: At least 30 days of advance notice
Rent Increase Laws
There are no rent control or rent stabilization laws in South Carolina. To raise rent for a month-to-month rental agreement, landlords must give tenants at least 30 days’ notice beforehand.
