Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in South Carolina

Right to own grill dispute

I signed a leasing contract effective from 1/06-8/06 for an apartment. When I signed the lease, grills were allowed so long as safety rules were followed. In 1/06 I bought a $300 grill and have used it since in a safe manner. Now, the apartment owners association is saying I must find a new home for my grill because the new effective contract prohibits grills. Do I have an argument for compensation of the grill cost if I have to get rid of it due to a new addition to the contract? After all, I did buy the grill when they were allowed and now they expect me to get rid of it. (The only way I could get rid of it is if I rented a U-HAUL trailer, which to get from SC to NC it would cost the value of the grill.)

Thank you for your help.

No. The new lease is yours to sign or move out (with your grill).
