South Dakota Rent Increase Notice

A South Dakota landlord has to give tenants written notice before rent goes up. How much notice — and whether there’s a cap — is set by statute. Here’s what South Dakota’s says.

South Dakota rules at a glance

South Dakota rules for a Rent Increase Notice
Notice before an increase30 days. On a month-to-month lease, the landlord may change the rent 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.SDCL §43-32-13
Rent capSouth Dakota has no rent control.

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).
