My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: SC
Tenants were properly served Notice to Vacate August 22nd, which became effective Sept 21st. They are not budging. Notice of Ejectment filed Sept 26th, with The Summary Court, which was to be served by a representative of the court. After service, they have 10 days to vacate, or they will be ejected by a Constable. I will go to The Court tomorrow and see where we stand, but I think they have avoided/evaded service. Their rent was due the 18th, and they are now leaving messages that the check is there to be picked up. They have been late with the payments they owed us (July and August), though the prior owner said they were timely.
I don't want to accept the rent. I think it needs to be dealt with at the same time they are sued for the cost of ejectment and fees associated. I will have to hire people to move their stuff to "the nearest public roadway" (which will be designated by the Constable) and tow the vehicles.
Any advice appreciated.
