South Dakota: Notices and tenancy endings
Nonpayment is a ground for forcible entry and detainer once rent is 3 days overdue (SDCL 21-16-1(4)). The former 3-day notice-to-quit statute (SDCL 21-16-2) was repealed (SL 2024, ch 75); lease terms may still require notice.
Holdover is a ground for FED with no statutory cure period (SDCL 21-16-1(4)); SDCL 43-32-13 governs 30-day notice to MODIFY month-to-month terms, not a confirmed termination day-count.
Court listed in the supplied dataset: Circuit Court (forcible entry and detainer; magistrate court shares jurisdiction).
