Charleston Development Company, LLC v. Alami

Syllabus

This appeal arises from multiple lawsuits against property owners in Charleston alleging the owners' illegal short-term rental businesses damaged the legal short-term rental businesses of Charleston Development Company, LLC, Charleston Housing Company, LLC, and NotSo Hostel, LLC, (collectively, Appellants). Appellants appeal the trial court's grant of summary judgment to all defendants (some of whom are Respondents), arguing the trial court erred in granting summary judgment against their (1) claim under City of Charleston Ordinance § 54-905 (2) claim for violation of the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act (SCUTPA) and (3) nuisance claim. They also argue they are entitled to the video-taped depositions of Respondents. We affirm.
