Fair Housing Act

As a tenant, it is important that you know your rights. You can find the Fair House Laws and Regulations for South Carolina here: 
https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t31c021.php

Here are some important points to note:

• It is illegal for a landlord or property management company to refuse to rent or deny access to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin
• Examples of familial status: expectant mothers or tenants with kids
• Exception: If the private individual owner does not own more than three single-family houses at any one time, then he or she has the right to rent or sell to whomever they choose despite the fair housing law

Please consult an attorney with any questions.
