Your South Carolina move-out, dated from notice to deposit.
Enter your lease end or the day you give notice. You get every step that matters, each with its date and the statute behind it: notice, the steps that start your landlord's clock, report day, keys, and the day the deposit is due.

South Carolina counts from “possession + your demand, whichever is later”: your demand for the deposit. Put the demand in writing on move-out day and keep a copy.

30 calendar days from your demand.
If nothing has arrived: send the demand letterYour deadline
Late is a fact you can put in writing. The letter cites S.C. Code §27-40-410(a) and the date it was due.
Small claims, if the demand goes unanswered
We haven't checked South Carolina's small-claims limit yet. The date assumes the 10-day reply window housr suggests in the letter.
