The bill H. 3448 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 27-40-350, which prohibits landlords from taking photographs of a tenant's personal belongings while on the rental property without obtaining the tenant's express permission. This legislative change seeks to enhance tenant privacy and protect their personal property from unauthorized documentation by landlords.

The bill will take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor, reinforcing the importance of tenant rights in rental agreements. By establishing this prohibition, the bill addresses concerns regarding privacy and the potential misuse of photographs taken without consent.
