Free South Carolina lease agreement, built for your tenant and address

Answer a few questions and get a South Carolina residential lease with your tenant, your address, and the disclosures South Carolina law calls for written in. We wrote it to the statute; a South Carolina attorney has not reviewed it yet, so read it before you rely on it. When it reads right, send it to your tenant to sign online. Building it is free, with no credit card and no account to start.

What is built into the South Carolina lease

Written to the South Carolina Residential Landlord and Tenant Act: the owner or agent disclosure the Act requires, and the security deposit terms with the thirty-day itemized return and the forwarding-address demand
The statutory notice that nonpayment within five days of the due date lets the landlord begin eviction (printed in bold as the Act scripts it), and the fourteen-day notice and cure terms for other breaches
The twenty-four-hour entry rule and a complete schedule of every fee that may be charged
Drafted around South Carolina's prohibited-provisions statute: no indemnity or hold-harmless language, no limitation of the landlord's liability, no confession of judgment, no lease-created lien, and no waiver of any right under the Act

How it works

Answer a few questions. Property address, tenant names, rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease actually turns on. About five minutes, one topic at a time.
Watch the lease fill in. The real South Carolina document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before anyone signs.
Send it for signing. Your tenant signs online, from any phone. Sending it sets up your PropManager account, free for your first 2 weeks with no card.

Common questions

Is the South Carolina lease really free?

Building it is free, with no account and no credit card. To send it to your tenant for e-signature you create a PropManager account, which is free for your first 2 weeks with no card.

Is it reviewed by a South Carolina attorney?

No. PropManager Editorial wrote it, and the template is current through the 2026 session of the General Assembly, including the 2026 domestic-violence termination law, and verified against the South Carolina Code of Laws on the Legislature's own site. It is an informational starting point, not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for a licensed South Carolina attorney reviewing your situation.

Can I edit the lease?

You set the terms by answering the questions: rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease turns on. The document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before you send it. The wizard is not a free-form editor.

Does it work outside South Carolina?

No. This template is South Carolina-specific. Other states have their own templates, linked below. For a state we have not written yet, the wizard gives you our general-use lease and says so plainly.

What if my state is not covered yet?

You can still build and send a lease: the wizard gives you our general-use lease and tells you so plainly. Leave your email and we tell you when your state's own lease is ready. Covered states are listed at the bottom of this page.
