Rent is due on the 1st. Per SC law, tenants have until the 5th to pay without penalty. On the 6th we charge a $50 late fee with a continuing daily charge up to a $95 maximum. All late fees are paid to HTSI. If the tenant has not paid by the 15th, we file an eviction. However, at our discretion, we may file an eviction much sooner.
