Where to start with SCBRS? I rented from a very nice landlord for a few years before they turned over their properties to SCBRS. We were notified of this by a letter left under our door mat. We had already signed a renewed lease with the landlord and were always given flexibility with our due date since we only get paid once a month. SCBRS changed all of that.

And the guy argued with me to

Was to receive my $700 deposit back. Only received $399 back. Was told that the carpet needed to be professionally cleaned instead of my doing it myself. After 3yrs the carpet needed to be replaced. I placed a brand new deadbolt on the door once I moved out and was charged for that as well. I have had nothing but trouble from
