How much time by law do I have in South Carolina after being served?. steph:confused:
Hello steph:
If the notice is a 3 day pay rent or quit notice, you have - uhhhhhhh let me think - 3 days. If the notice is a 5 day pay rent or quite notice, then you have 5 days. If the notice is a 7 day...
Need I go on?

How much time in South Carolina do I have to be out when served with eviction paper?Quote:

Hello again, steph:
That's a different question. It's STILL not the real question you want to ask, so I'll ask it for you.
----------------------------
In South Carolina, when you're evicted, how much time do you have before the sheriff comes to put you on the street??
You see, LEGALLY, you're supposed to be out when you're served the FIRST notice and can't pay your rent. But, I don't think you're interested in LEGALLY. I think you're interested in how long you can stay PERIOD, legal or not.
The answer to THAT question depends on what KIND of eviction papers you're talking about. If you're talking about the 3,5,7 day pay or quit notice, that's only the beginning. The landlord will have to sue you; there will be a court date; you'll win or lose; there will be an eviction date; a sheriff might show up then but you can still probably get a few more days; but eventually a sheriff WILL put you out. You'll KNOW when that's about to happen.
IF your landlord is efficient, and the courts are efficient, it could take as little as 2-3 weeks. You probably have, however, at least a month, maybe even two.
Now, does THAT answer your question (even though you didn't ask it)?
