SC tenant lease bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
A tenant lease bond is a contractual surety a tenant posts to satisfy a landlord — typically in place of, or alongside, a cash security deposit. It is not a South Carolina state requirement; the amount is whatever your lease or landlord asks for. We issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

What the lease bond actually covers
A tenant lease bond is a contractual guarantee between a tenant and a landlord. Instead of (or alongside) tying up cash in a security deposit, a tenant posts a surety bond that backs the obligations in the lease — unpaid rent and damage beyond ordinary wear, up to the bond amount.
South Carolina does not require this bond. The Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (S.C. Code §27-40-410) governs security deposits and prepaid rent, but it does not mandate a surety bond — a lease bond is purely a private arrangement that a landlord or property manager chooses to accept in place of cash.
Because there is no statutory figure, the amount is whatever your lease or landlord names — often pegged to the deposit it replaces. If the tenant breaches and the landlord is paid on the bond, the tenant repays the surety; it is a guarantee, not insurance for the tenant. Enter the required amount and we issue at a flat 3%.
