A South Dakota Contract for the Lease and Purchase of Real Estate, commonly known as a "Purchase by Date or Leave" contract, is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions between a buyer and seller for the lease or purchase of real estate property in South Dakota. This contract allows the buyer to either complete the purchase by a specified date or vacate the property. The Purchase by Date or Leave contract is typically used in situations where a buyer wants to take possession of the property immediately or face the consequence of having to vacate the premises. It provides both parties with a clear understanding of their rights, responsibilities, and timelines associated with the property transaction. This contract includes various essential components: 1. Parties Involved: The contract identifies the buyer and seller, including their legal names, contact information, and addresses. 2. Property Description: It provides a detailed description of the property being leased or purchased, including its address, legal description, and any other relevant details. 3. Purchase Price and Payment Terms: The contract states the agreed-upon purchase price for the property and outlines the payment terms, including the initial deposit, down payment, and any subsequent installments or financing options. 4. Lease Terms (If Applicable): If the buyer chooses to lease the property for a specific period before finalizing the purchase, the contract should outline the lease terms, such as the duration, monthly rent, security deposit, and conditions for lease termination. 5. Purchase by Date or Vacate: This clause sets a specific date by which the buyer must complete the purchase. If the buyer fails to fulfill the purchase obligations by this date, they will be required to vacate the property. 6. Property Inspections: The contract may include provisions allowing the buyer to conduct inspections of the property before finalizing the purchase, ensuring transparency and giving the buyer an opportunity to identify any potential issues or defects. 7. Seller's Disclosure Statement: In some cases, the seller may be required to provide a disclosure statement detailing any known defects, hazards, or material issues related to the property. 8. Default and Remedies: This section defines the consequences and remedies in case of default by either party, such as penalties, forfeiture of deposits, or legal actions. It is important to clarify that while there may be variations in specific terms and conditions, the "Purchase by Date or Leave" contract is a standard legal instrument that can be customized to suit the specific requirements of the buyer and seller.
