South Carolina H3387 amends the South Carolina Code to establish a legal process for property owners to remove unlawful occupants from residential properties. The bill defines "unlawful occupant" and outlines the conditions under which a property owner can file a verified petition for an ex parte order. This order allows the sheriff to remove the unlawful occupant and change locks. The court can also impose additional restrictions, such as barring the occupant from contacting the property owner.
