A South Dakota lease termination letter (30-day notice) is formal correspondence from the landlord or tenant alerting the other party they’re ending the lease. Because month-to-month leases usually renew automatically unless the landlord provides notice, this document helps provide tenants with an adequate warning so they can find alternative accommodations.
Ending the lease appropriately will help both parties remain in legal compliance. If the tenant doesn’t move out within the 30-day notice period, the landlord can issue an additional 3-day notice to quit. If the tenant still doesn’t comply, the landlord can begin official eviction proceedings through the court.
