Unlawful occupants of property

Chamber Passed·4/4/25

South Carolina H3387 provides a legal process for property owners to remove unlawful occupants from residential properties.

South Carolina H3387 amends the state code to establish a legal process for property owners to remove unlawful occupants from residential properties. The bill allows property owners or their agents to file a verified petition with the court to obtain an ex parte order for removal. The court can issue such an order if the property owner provides sufficient evidence that the occupant is unlawfully occupying the property. The bill also outlines the conditions under which the court can issue restraining orders and other protective measures.
