    What South Dakota requires

    Notice before a rent increase

    To raise rent on a month-to-month lease, a South Dakota landlord must give written notice at least 30 days before the month ends, and the tenant may respond within 15 days by ending the lease (SDCL § 43-32-13).

    Month-to-month only; notice must arrive at least 30 days before the end of the month, and the tenant may then terminate effective the first of the next month by giving notice within 15 days

    SDCL § 43-32-13 · checked October 27, 2026

    Rent control

    South Dakota has no rent control law; the lease chapter (SDCL ch. 43-32) lets landlords change month-to-month terms on 30 days' written notice but sets no limit on the amount of rent.

    Notice to end a month-to-month tenancy

    A South Dakota month-to-month tenancy renews automatically unless either party gives notice at least one month before the period ends (SDCL § 43-32-15).

    Notice must be at least as long as the rental period, capped at one month (e.g. one week for week-to-week).

    SDCL § 43-32-15 · checked October 27, 2026

    With 30 days' notice delivered on November 1, 2026, the earliest effective date the form accepts is December 1, 2026, and the example moves it to the first day of a month on or after that date. South Dakota's rule above sets different terms in some situations, so set the form's notice period to the one that fits your tenancy.

    City and county rules can be stricter than state law, and your lease can require more than the statute does. Use whichever rule gives the tenant more time or protection.
