Create a South Dakota Eviction Notice with our customizable template!
A South Dakota eviction notice is a written notice that informs the tenant they’ve violated the lease agreement in some way and gives them a certain number of days to correct the violation or leave the property (curable violation). It is the start of the legal eviction process. Before a landlord can file a forcible entry and detainer with the court which is the official way to address an eviction lawsuit, they must first create and legally serve an eviction notice (also known as a notice to quit) on the tenant. An eviction notice informs the tenant that the landlord is aware of a lease violation on the residential premises.
All South Dakota eviction notices must comply with South Dakota codified laws, specifically the landlord-tenant laws. Before serving an eviction notice or filing an eviction hearing against the renter, seek legal advice. An attorney can review the violation of the rental agreement to help you determine if you're in good standing as a landlord to support your claim against the tenant.
