No, a landlord cannot evict you immediately in South Carolina. A court process is required before a tenant can be removed.
For nonpayment of rent, landlords must give at least 5 days’ written notice to pay or vacate. For lease violations or ending a tenancy, notice periods are generally 7 to 30 days depending on the situation. If the eviction is for illegal activity, the landlord may file an eviction action without prior written notice, but a court order is still required to remove the tenant.
