Yes @Colleen F. we do have unrelated ordinance in Columbia, South CarolinaIt is 3 per unit in the City but you can have 6 in a duplex, 9 in a triplex, etc.We also have a demerit system, but not a ton of issues if you're diligent with the City and tenants.Re: 9 month lease: It is very difficult for tenants to find anything but a 12 month lease in our market.
