This bill would require landlords of residential properties to tell tenants how their application screening fees are spent and refund any unused amount of that fee. It also limits landlords’ consideration of rental and credit history to the seven years preceding an application, and it requires a landlord to provide written notice of why an application is denied.
We support this bill because: Strengthening tenants’ rights and improving the transparency of the residential renting process would be a win for South Carolinians.
