South Carolina park problems, computed

South Carolina Mobile Home Park Laws — Eviction Rules

The three park questions for South Carolina, answered from the state code itself: how much lot rent can go up (and what notice you must get), what happens when the park closes, and whether residents get a chance to buy the park when it sells. State law only — local ordinances are outside this dataset's scope, and the page says so wherever that matters.

Lot rent in South Carolina

South Carolina has no statewide cap on how much lot rent can go up. No statewide cap on the amount of a lot rent increase was found in the South Carolina Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act (S.C. Code 27-47-10 et seq.). The Act regulates timing only: when a tenancy continues past its original term, the resident must get notice of a new rental rate at least 30 days before it takes effect.

Notice the park must give: 30 days before an increase takes effect.

Rule: S.C. Code 27-47-420 (when a tenancy is to continue beyond the original term, a resident must be given notice by the owner at least 30 days in advance of the effective date of a new rental rate)

If the park closes or changes use

No closure-notice period was found in the state code for South Carolina in our verified dataset — this page will not borrow a number from another state or a summary site.

The Act's Article 7 covers notification, not a closure clock: if a park is sold but keeps operating, the new owner must notify residents of the change in ownership within 30 days after closing (27-47-610, as described in the Act's bill history), and if an owner applies to rezone a park, notice of the proposed rezoning must be posted at the park at least five days before the public hearing (27-47-620). No statute setting a number of days' notice to residents before a park closes was found in Chapter 47, so noticeDays is null.

Relocation help

No state relocation fund for park closures was found in South Carolina's code in our verified dataset.

Purchase rights when the park sells

South Carolina has no park purchase-opportunity law in the national NCLC survey (September 2026). That is a sourced fact, not a gap in our reading: the survey covers every state's manufactured-home community purchase law, and South Carolina is not in it. When a park sells here, residents' rights come from the lease, the notice rules, and the eviction framework on this page — not from a purchase window.

Eviction ground rules

South Carolina is a just-cause state for park residents: S.C. Code 27-47-530(A) says an owner may evict a resident only for the listed reasons — failure to comply with manufactured home laws after written notice and a reasonable chance to fix it, repeated conduct interfering with other residents' quiet enjoyment, noncompliance with the rental agreement or park regulations not fixed within 14 days after written notice, not paying rent within five days of its due date, noncompliance affecting health, safety or welfare or the park's physical condition, a knowingly false statement in the application or agreement, taking of the park by eminent domain, or another reason sufficient under common law. A writ of ejectment generally may not issue until 10 days after a verdict for the owner (27-47-530(B)).

Rule: S.C. Code 27-47-530
