Can an eviction notice simply be handed to a tenant without going through a court process?

This depends on the state in which you reside. And it depends on what you mean by an eviction notice. In most states, before an eviction can be filed in court, a notice has to be given to the tenant -- normally three to five days -- by hand, asking the tenant to pay his rent or to move. If the tenant doesn't pay his rent by that time then you may begin to file eviction proceedings. Once you do this, only the sheriff's office, Constable, etc. of your jurisdiction may serve an official notice, thereto known as a summons for eviction, to which the tenant must respond by following the instructions on the front page.


How long does the eviction process take for a rental property in South Carolina?

This depends on why the eviction is taking place. If it's for the most common reason, non-payment of rent, it can be pretty quick. Your landlord, after the 5th day of the month, can give you a notice that you must pay the rent, plus any late charges, or vacate the unit immediately. If after 5 days from the time of this notice this doesn't happen, the landlord can file eviction proceedings. You will then be served with a Summons and will have to answer that Summons within five days of service. If you don't answer the Summons, or if your answer is not convncing to the judge, he can issue a default judgment for eviction and a writ of ejectment. When that happens you have 24 hours to get your stuff and get out, or the constable/deputy sheriff will force you out. The total turnaround time is less than 30 days.

Response to board of condo's summons?

The answer depends on whose summons you have received. If your board has sent you a summons, apparently the board believes that you are in violation of your governing documents. The summons should detail this alleged violation, and further, detail your response options. Otherwise, look in your governing documents and review the process of notification for violations and the form, format and time limit for your response. If however, the summons is from a local court, you need an attorney to respond to the summons.
