Wright v. PRG Real Estate Management, Inc.

Two men abducted Denise Wright at gunpoint from the parking lot of the apartment she leased at Wellspring Apartment Complex. Wright filed this lawsuit alleging Wellspring’s owners and managers1 (the respondents) were negligent in providing security and were liable under the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act. See S.C.Code Ann. § 39-5-10 to - 180 (1985 & Supp.2014). The circuit court granted summary judgment on both claims, finding the respondents had no duty to provide security for Wright and there was no evidence the respondents engaged in unfair or deceptive acts. We affirm.
