Security deposits in South Dakota

Any money that secures performance of a residential lease is a security deposit, and a South Dakota landlord may not demand or receive more than one month’s rent — unless the parties agree to a larger deposit because special conditions pose a danger to maintenance of the premises (SDCL §43-32-6.1).

21-day deadline — Within 21 days after the tenancy ends and the landlord receives the tenant’s mailing address or delivery instructions, the landlord must return the deposit or give a written statement of the specific reasons for withholding any part of it (§43-32-24). The window was two weeks before a 2026 amendment (SL 2026, ch 179).
Allowed deductions — Only amounts reasonably needed to cover unpaid rent and other funds due under the lease, and to restore the premises to their move-in condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted (§43-32-24).
Itemized accounting — On the tenant’s request, the landlord must provide an itemized accounting of any amount withheld within 45 days after the tenancy ends (§43-32-24).
Penalty — A landlord who misses these requirements forfeits the right to withhold any of the deposit, and bad-faith retention or failure to provide the statement can add punitive damages of up to $200 (§43-32-24).

Landlord entry & access

Except in an emergency or where it’s impracticable, a South Dakota landlord must give the tenant reasonable notice of the intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times. Twenty-four hours’ written notice is presumed reasonable unless the lease sets a different method or timing that both sides agreed to (SDCL §43-32-32).

The notice itself has required content: the date or dates of entry, a window of time during normal business hours, the purpose of the entry, and a way for the tenant to ask to reschedule (§43-32-32).

South Dakota Bed Bug Addendum FAQs

How much can a landlord charge for a security deposit in South Dakota?

No more than one month’s rent, unless the landlord and tenant agree to a larger deposit because special conditions pose a danger to the premises (SDCL §43-32-6.1).

How long does a landlord have to return a security deposit in South Dakota?

21 days after the tenancy ends and the landlord receives the tenant’s mailing address, returning the deposit or a written statement of reasons for withholding. The deadline was two weeks until a 2026 amendment. An itemized accounting is due within 45 days on request, and missing the rules forfeits the right to withhold (§43-32-24).
