Eviction Protection For Your Investment

When a lease term ends and a resident needs to be removed from your property, Doug Shorter Property Management handles every step of the process on your behalf, so you can focus on what matters most: protecting your investment and getting the unit back into service quickly.

Prevention is built into every placement.

Before a resident ever moves in, Doug Shorter PM runs a thorough screening process that includes a credit review, a national criminal background check, income verification, employment verification, and a full rental history evaluation. This layered approach has helped hundreds of Charleston-area property owners avoid costly eviction situations over our more than 40 years in business. That said, even the most carefully screened placement can occasionally lead to an eviction, and when it does, you won't be navigating it alone.

Full-service eviction management, start to finish.

Our team manages the entire eviction process in the property owner's name, including the following:

Preparing, signing, and serving all legally required notices to initiate and advance the eviction process.

Commencing and prosecuting eviction actions through the appropriate South Carolina courts.

Recovering legal possession of the property in the owner's name upon conclusion of the case.

Pursuing recovery of unpaid rent and any other amounts owed by the departing resident.

Your property stays protected throughout.

Our goal is always to resolve the situation as efficiently as possible and return the property to rent-ready condition so that a qualified new resident can be placed without unnecessary delay. Every step is handled with the same transparent, professional approach that Charleston homeowners have trusted Doug Shorter Property Management to deliver for decades.
