South Dakota Lease Violation Notice
This Lease Violation 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
| Nonpayment eviction | No pre-suit notice to quit since 2024; eviction action once rent is 3 days lateSDCL §21-16-1(4) |
|---|---|
| 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 The former three-day notice to quit (§21-16-2) was repealed in 2024, so no pre-suit notice is required by statute — but if your lease promises one, you must give it.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). |
| Month-to-month termination | Notice as long as the rental period, up to one monthSDCL §43-32-15 |
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).
| Week-to-week | One week |
|---|---|
| Month-to-month | One month |
| Tenancy at will (landlord) | At least 15 days (§43-8-8) |
| Tenancy at will — active-duty military household | Two months, with limited exceptions (§43-8-8) |
- 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 The former three-day notice to quit (§21-16-2) was repealed in 2024, so no pre-suit notice is required by statute — but if your lease promises one, you must give it.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).
