South Dakota Eviction Notice

Use our South Dakota Eviction Notice to remove a tenant from your rental property.

Updated November 6, 2020

If you’re a landlord seeking to evict a tenant, use a South Dakota (SD) eviction notice to begin the process. Your eviction notice must be written according to South Dakota state law, and give your tenant the legally required amount of time to respond or move out.

In South Dakota, eviction lawsuits are governed by Title 21, Chapter 16 of the South Dakota Codified Laws.

Eviction Laws & Requirements

  • Eviction Lawsuit: Forcible Entry and Detainer
  • Grace Period for Rental Payment: In South Dakota, there is no statute for a grace period or late fees regarding rent.
  • Late or Non-Rent Payment Notice: 3 days (Statute 21-16-2)
  • Notice of Non-Compliance: Immediate (Statute 43-32-18)
  • Lease Termination (Month-to-Month): 30 days (Statute 48-8-8)

What Is the Eviction Process in South Dakota?

Step 1: Send an eviction notice

The first step is to provide the tenant with the correct eviction notice. This written document must offer the tenant a certain period of time (determined by South Dakota law), depending on the reason for eviction. Step 2: File Action and Serve Summons

The tenant receives a summons, and the court proceedings determine whether the tenant can be removed.

Step 2: Execution for Possession

Once the judgment is delivered, the landlord can get an execution for possession or lockout order. This document provides the date and time that execution of possession can take place and authorizes the Sheriff’s Department to physically remove the occupant, if necessary.

Step 3: Disposal of Personal Property

Property that is left by the tenant that’s worth more than $500 must be stored by the property owner for 10 days. After that period, the property is considered forfeit.
