South Dakota Late Rent Notice

This Late Rent Notice is built with South Dakota as the governing state. These are the South Dakota landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

South Dakota rules at a glance

Rent, late fees & rent increases

South Dakota has no late-fee statute and no rent control. Unless the lease says otherwise, a hiring of real property is presumed to be for one year (SDCL §43-32-3), and a lease longer than one year must be in writing (§43-32-5).

• Late fees — No statute caps late fees or requires a grace period. A late fee should be written into the lease and be a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s cost of late payment; a fee that operates as a penalty risks being unenforceable.
• Rent increases — On a month-to-month lease, the landlord may change the rent or other terms by written notice given at least 30 days before the end of the month; the new terms take effect at the end of that month if the tenant stays (§43-32-13).
• Tenant’s exit right — A tenant who receives a notice of modification may terminate effective the first day of the next month by giving notice within 15 days of receiving it (§43-32-13).
• Fixed-term leases — Rent on a fixed-term lease can’t be raised mid-term unless the lease allows it. If the tenant stays on after the term and the landlord accepts rent, the lease is presumed renewed on the same terms for the same period, up to one year (§43-32-14).

Ending a South Dakota tenancy

A lease ends at the expiration of its agreed term or by mutual consent (SDCL §43-32-22). For a tenancy with no fixed term, either party must give notice at least as long as the rental period itself, but not more than one month, or the hiring is presumed to renew (§43-32-15).

• Nonpayment of rent — A forcible entry and detainer action is available once rent is unpaid three days after it’s due (§21-16-1(4)). The former three-day notice to quit (§21-16-2) was repealed in 2024, so no pre-suit notice is required by statute — but if your lease promises one, you must give it.
• Lease violations — A landlord may terminate before the end of the term if the tenant uses the premises contrary to the lease, or fails to make repairs they’re responsible for within a reasonable time after request (§43-32-18).
• Domestic abuse, sexual offenses & stalking — A tenant may terminate without an early-termination penalty by written notice citing fear of imminent danger, with a police report, protection order or health-care provider documentation from the past 30 days; the tenant owes no rent for the month after they vacate (§43-32-19.1).
• Landlord default — A tenant may terminate early if the landlord fails, within a reasonable time after written request, to put the tenant in quiet possession or make required repairs, or if most of the premises is destroyed (§43-32-19).
