A South Carolina 24-hour notice to enter informs a tenant that their landlord will be entering the rental property. The landlord will complete and deliver the notice to the tenant to communicate when they need to access the property and for what reason. Common justifications for entering a rental property include repairs, renovations, inspections, or showing the unit to prospective renters and buyers.

Emergency Access (§ 27-40-530(b)(1)) – If there is a risk of danger to the property, the landlord can enter without providing notice or receiving consent from the tenant.
