As noted earlier, the landlord has the right to inspect the property. The rental property must be safe and sanitary and be maintained throughout the rental period. If repairs are necessary for safety or sanitation, the landlord must make such repairs without cost to the tenant.
The law does not allow you to move out if the problems are not very serious. Your landlord still needs to make repairs. If they dont, you can take them to Magistrates Court and ask the court to order them to make repairs.
When you write your own letter, include: names, dates, your address and signature. a description of the problems. background information if you already talked to the super or asked for repairs. a request for advance notice if they will come to your apartment, so you can plan.
What is the South Carolina Residential Landlord-Tenant Act? It is a law passed in 1986 that protects South Carolina house, apartment, and room renters and their landlords. If you live in government-assisted housing, this law protects you. You may also have additional protections under federal law.
