The rule
- Landlord ends month-to-month
- 30 days
- Tenant ends month-to-month
- 30 days
- Week-to-week
- 7 days
- Unpaid rent
- No fixed period
- Lease violation
- No fixed period
- Unpaid rent
- No pre-filing notice required: 2024 legislation repealed the 3-day notice to quit (§ 21-16-2). An eviction may be filed once rent is 3 days past due; the lease may still require notice.
- Lease violations
- No statutory notice or cure period; eviction lies where the tenant breaches a lease term that ends the lease. Periodic tenancies end on notice equal to the rental period, capped at one month (so ‘one month’, not a fixed 30 days).
Law: S.D. Codified Laws §§ 43-32-15, 21-16-1
