SC Real Estate law requires that real estate agents and brokers provide you with this form, which discloses the options for agency relationships offered by their firm. Don’t be surprised if your agent asks you to sign this form before showing you any homes. This form is not a contract, just a formal disclosure. You may also see a copy on the SC Real Estate Commission website:
Why Do Landlords Want to Check My Criminal Background?
A clean background is a generally a good sign that an applicant can be trusted with the home and the neighborhood.
It is important to note that landlords may be liable if they skip a background check and something goes wrong.
According to NOLO.com, landlords can incur stiff fines, criminal penalties, and lawsuits for allowing illegal activity in their rental property. In extreme cases, the presence of drug dealers may result in government confiscation of the rental property.
Screening out violent or dangerous criminals is just one step to limit liability and risk for the homeowner.
As a safety precaution, it is important to screen everyone that will be living in the home, not just the primary applicant.
Our rental homes and apartments are owned by individuals, not by ERA Leatherman Realty. Each individual home owner decides whether they will allow a pet in their home or not.
Unfortunately, due to insurance requirements we do not allow the following breeds: Akita, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Wolf Dog, Bullmastiff, Doberman, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, German Shepherd, Pit Bull, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Tosa Inu, Wolf, and Wolf Dog Mix, Belgian Malinois.
Having an unauthorized pet can result in fines and/or eviction.
Renter’s insurance is required and must provide pet coverage for both physical damage and dog bite liability.
