A South Dakota 30 Day Notice to Vacate is an official lease termination letter written to terminate a rental agreement, including a month-to-month or year-to-year lease. The letter is provided to either party at least thirty (30) calendar days before the end of the following rental period or expiration of the lease.

Generally speaking, an eviction stays on your record as part of your rental history for seven years. This is a public record and is available to all future landlords and creditors within this period.

The only lawful way to evict a tenant is for the landlord to obtain a court order signed by the circuit court or magistrate judge. This is obtained in a lawsuit called a "Forcible Entry and Detainer" action.

A South Dakota 3-day notice to quit (non-payment) is a written notice given to a tenant (lessee) who fails to pay rent that must precede an eviction proceeding. The notice must be served in person, to the tenant's place of dwelling.

If a tenant fails to vacate the premises within three (3) days, the landlord must initiate a formal court action to have the tenant legally removed. To accomplish this, the landlord must complete a Case Filing Statement for each party (the landlord and the tenant/s), the Summons, and the Verified Complaint.
