The landlord must notify all parties who signed the lease, in writing, that they have three (3) days to vacate the premises. This step must be completed before a formal court action may be initiated.

Tenants can use the South Dakota Tenant Notice to Vacate Form to inform landlords and property managers of their intention to vacate the rental property at least 30 days before they intend to move out, or longer if required by the terms of their South Dakota Lease Agreement.

If you end your lease early under South Dakota's housing law you cannot be charged early termination fees or rent for the months after you move out. However, if you damaged the property or if you owe any back rent prior to leaving the property, you would still owe the landlord money to pay for the damage or back rent.

How Long Does an Eviction Stay on Your Record? An eviction itself doesn't appear on your credit report. However, any unpaid rent and fees could be sent to collections and remain on your credit report for seven years from the original delinquency date.

Talk to your previous landlord. In some cases, a landlord that evicted you might be open to erasing an eviction if you pay any money that's owed and settle any lingering disputes. If you are on good terms, he may also provide a convincing recommendation to your new landlord.
