South Carolina Termination of Lease For Month to Month Law

Landlord Tenant - Lease Termination - South Carolina

Termination of a month to month lease is governed by the following statute:

SECTION 27-35-120. Termination of month to month tenancy.

A tenancy from month to month may be ended by either party giving to the other written notice of thirty days to the effect that such tenancy shall be then terminated. No such tenancy shall ripen into a tenancy from year to year.

SECTION 27-35-180. Penalty for not delivering possession after notice of intent to quit.

In case any tenant shall give notice in writing of his intention to quit the premises rented by him and shall not accordingly deliver up the possession at the time in such notice contained, the tenant, his executors or administrators, shall pay to the landlord double the rent which he otherwise would have been liable to pay. But nothing herein contained shall be construed to give such tenant a right to discontinue or determine his tenancy by such notice in any other manner than according to the laws of force at the time of giving such notice.
