I have often heard landlords say that they don't want their tenant to know where they live. The reason the landlords give is that they don't want a disgruntled tenant showing up at the front door in the middle of the night.
These landlords tell me that, to keep their home address private, they just give the tenant instructions to mail the rent checks to a P.O. Box.
If you are the landlord for owner-managed property, your local landlord tenant laws may require that your tenant is given a physical address where you may
be served notice or process. This even applies to out of state landlords who still self-manage the property. If your privacy is of paramount concern, then here is another reason to consider a professional property manager for your rental properties.
Following is the applicable section of the SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENTIAL LANDLORD AND TENANT ACT. Check your local landlord tenant laws to see if you also have a similar disclosure requirement.
SECTION 27-40-420. Disclosure.
(a) A landlord or any person authorized to enter into a rental agreement on his behalf shall disclose to the tenant in writing at or before the commencement of the tenancy the name and address of an owner of the premises or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner as agent, inter alia, for purposes of service of process and receiving or receipting notices or demands.
(b) The information required to be furnished by this section must be kept current and this section extends to and is enforceable against any successor landlord, owner, or manager.
