Understanding South Carolina ESA Housing Rights
Navigating landlord rules can be stressful, but federal and state laws protect your right to live with your emotional support animal. In South Carolina, landlords are legally required to provide "reasonable accommodations" for tenants with valid ESA documentation.
The Official Law
South Carolina mandates that landlords accommodate ESAs. Property managers cannot charge pet rent, but they can verify the validity of your ESA letter. Do not use fraudulent certificate websites in SC.

- Charge you upfront pet deposits or monthly "pet rent".
- Deny your application based solely on the breed or weight of your animal.
- Require your animal to have specific training (ESAs are not Service Dogs).
