S.C. Code Ann. § 27-47-530
(A) An owner may evict a resident for one or more of the following reasons:

(1) failure to comply with local, state, or federal laws governing manufactured homes after he receives written notice of noncompliance and has had a reasonable opportunity to remedy the violation;

(2) engaging in repeated conduct that interferes with the quiet enjoyment of the park by other residents;

(3) noncompliance with a provision of the rental agreement or park regulations and failure to remedy the violation within fourteen days after written notice by the owner. If the remedy requires longer than fourteen days, the owner may allow the resident in good faith to extend the time to a specified date;

(4) not paying rent within five days of its due date;

(5) noncompliance with a law or a provision in the rental agreement or park regulations affecting the health, safety, or welfare of other residents in the park or affecting the physical condition of the park;

(6) wilfully and knowingly making a false or misleading statement in the rental agreement or application;

(7) taking of the park or the part of it affecting the resident's lot by eminent domain;

(8) other reason sufficient under common law.

(B) Notwithstanding Section 27-37-100, a writ of ejectment may not issue until ten days after a verdict for the plaintiff except for eviction pursuant to subsection (A)(5).

(C) If a manufactured home remains on the lot twenty days after the resident has been evicted, the procedure in Section 29-15-10 may be commenced in order to sell the home in a commercially reasonable sale at public auction. The manufactured home owner or resident is not prohibited from moving the home before the day of the sale; however, he must pay any filing fee or advertising costs incurred for initiating the procedure in Section 29-15-10.

Plain English

Under S.C. Code Ann. § 27-47-530, a manufactured home park owner is permitted to evict a resident for a defined list of reasons, including nonpayment of rent, repeated disturbances, violations of the rental agreement or park rules, false statements in the application, eminent domain, or other grounds recognized under common law. Most violations require written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure before eviction can proceed, though health-and-safety violations carry a faster track. If a manufactured home remains on the lot twenty days after eviction, the park owner may initiate a public auction process under state law, though the former resident retains the right to remove the home before the sale date.

For Property Managers

Operators of manufactured home parks in South Carolina must follow the specific procedural steps set out in § 27-47-530 before pursuing eviction. For most rule or agreement violations, compliant operators provide written notice and allow at least fourteen days to cure—or longer if the fix genuinely requires more time—before moving forward. When a home is abandoned on the lot after eviction, park owners generally wait the required twenty-day period and then follow the Section 29-15-10 auction procedure, keeping records of any filing fees or advertising costs that may be recoverable.

For Tenants

Section 27-47-530 establishes the limited grounds on which a manufactured home park owner may seek to evict a resident in South Carolina, and most of those grounds require written notice and a cure period before any eviction action can proceed. Residents who receive a notice of noncompliance generally have at least fourteen days—and sometimes more—to address the stated violation, which can be a meaningful protection if the notice is disputed or the timeline is not followed. Tenants facing eviction under this provision may benefit from reviewing the written notice carefully, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether the eviction ground and procedure match what § 27-47-530 actually requires.
