If you're renting or looking for an apartment in South Carolina, be aware that both the Fair Housing Act (FHA), a federal law, and South Carolina state law protects tenants and prospective tenants alike from illegal housing discrimination.
Under the FHA and South Carolina law, apartment dwellers in all parts of South Carolina have the right to enjoy their housing without facing discrimination based on these protected classes:
- race
- color
- religion
- national origin
- sex
- disability
- familial status.
South Carolina's fair housing law doesn't include any additional protected classes.
