The bill H. 3339 proposes an amendment to Section 27-37-10 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically addressing the grounds for the eviction of tenants. The key change involves the timeframe for nonpayment of rent, which is adjusted from five days to ten days after the due date. This amendment stipulates that if a written rental agreement clearly states in bold, conspicuous type that nonpayment of rent constitutes legal notice, the landlord may initiate ejectment proceedings after the specified period.

The bill aims to provide landlords with a clearer framework for eviction processes while also ensuring that tenants are adequately informed of their obligations under the rental agreement. The proposed changes will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
