Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston County Property Management
Local Experts, Not a Distant Call Center
Charleston is the most distinctive rental market in South Carolina and the most constrained. The historic peninsula, strict preservation rules, flood exposure and a tourism economy that competes directly with long-term rental supply all shape what an owner can realistically do here.
Short-term rental rules on the peninsula are restrictive and genuinely enforced. If you are weighing short-term against a long-term lease, the honest answer in most of Charleston is that long-term is the lower-risk business, and we will show you the comparison rather than assert it.
Flood zone, elevation certificate and insurance cost are central questions in Charleston, not footnotes. We will tell you what your property's zone means for your carrier and your tenant before you list it.
Kim Cardoso runs this market from our Summerville office, so you deal with one named manager rather than a ticket queue. Owners get a real-time portal, online rent collection, a maintenance line answered every day of the year and itemized statements. Careful screening is why our eviction rate stays under 1% on placed tenants.
We would rather price your actual home than quote you a city average.
Published averages for Charleston blend condos, townhouses and detached homes across neighbourhoods that rent nothing alike, so they are a poor guide to any single property. What your home earns depends on its Charleston County location, condition, layout, parking and what else is on the market the week you list.
A free rental analysis gives you a defensible number for your address: recent comparable leases, a realistic days-on-market expectation and the two or three changes most likely to move the figure. No obligation.

"Michael found the perfect tenant and made renting our home simple and hands-off. When we later sold, he was there again. Worth every penny."
"Alexis was communicative throughout. The photos and marketing were excellent, and she customized the lease to my needs. Found a great tenant fast."
"I've worked with Intempus for over five years. When it was time to sell, I called Michael first, extremely responsive, the complete package."

What makes Charleston a place renters want to stay.
Charleston County School District serves the city, with a mix of neighbourhood, magnet and charter options that families research closely. The historic district, King Street's shopping and the restaurant scene need little introduction. The Battery and Waterfront Park sit on the harbour, Folly Beach and Sullivan's Island are both short drives, and the College of Charleston and MUSC anchor the peninsula's employment.
No obligation, no cost

Common questions from Charleston owners, answered plainly.
It depends on the home, not the city. Location within Charleston County, condition, layout, parking and what else is listed that week move the number more than any published average. A free rental analysis prices your specific address against recent comparable leases.
A well-priced, professionally marketed home in Charleston usually leases in weeks rather than months. We photograph it properly, syndicate to more than 200 rental platforms and show it responsively, and we tell you early if price is the thing holding it back.
Credit, income, background and rental history on every applicant, with leases that comply with South Carolina and federal fair housing law. That discipline is why our eviction rate stays under 1% on placed tenants.
No. South Carolina has no rent control and state law prevents local rent-control ordinances, so rent is set by the market. The South Carolina Residential Landlord and Tenant Act does set notice periods and deposit rules, and we keep every lease and notice aligned with them.
Charleston's peninsula is reached via I-26 and the Ravenel Bridge from Mount Pleasant. Traffic at the bridges and on I-526 is the defining constraint, and parking downtown is genuinely difficult.
