South Carolina Rules

What South Carolina Renters Need to Know

South Carolina follows the federal Fair Housing Act and its own Fair Housing Law. A 2019 law (Act 44) added S.C. Code 31-21-70(N), under which documentation is sufficient if it establishes that you have a disability and that the animal will provide disability-related assistance or emotional support, and it set civil fines for intentionally misrepresenting a service animal (S.C. Code 47-3-980).

FAQs

ESA Letters in South Carolina: Common Questions

No. State laws add documentation mechanics, like California's 30-day rule or Florida's evidentiary standard, but the underlying federal right to a reasonable accommodation stands in every state.

It depends on the state you move to. Some states, such as California, Louisiana, Montana and Wisconsin, set their own rules on who may sign or how long the provider must know you, so check that state's page before you move. See the full state map.

With typical South Carolina pet rent of $25 to $50 monthly and a $250 to $500 deposit, an approved accommodation saves roughly $1,275 over a two-year lease, against a $99 letter.

Your evaluation is usually completed within one business day. Because South Carolina law (S.C. Code 31-21-70(N)) sets what documentation a landlord may request, contact us about timing for your case.
