South Carolina H3462 regulates landlord fees and notice requirements for rental application denials.
South Carolina H3462 mandates that landlords provide an itemized invoice and receipt for application screening fees, refunding any unused portion. It limits application screening fees to $75 and requires landlords to charge all prospective tenants the same fee. Landlords must provide a written notice of denial within 20 days, detailing the reasons for denial. If a landlord violates these provisions, they may be liable for treble the fee amount, plus court costs and attorney's fees. A landlord who remedies a violation within seven days of notice is not liable for damages.
