A South Dakota month-to-month lease termination letter is utilized by a landlord or tenant to cancel a tenancy-at-will by providing thirty (30) or fifteen (15) days written notice, respectively. The sender will obtain proof of receipt by using certified mail to transmit the notice. If the tenant does not vacate the premises within the designated number of days, the landlord can begin eviction proceedings.
Minimum Termination Period
A landlord is required to provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the tenant to vacate the rental unit, while a tenant is only required to provide a minimum of fifteen (15) days’ notice to the landlord if they plan to move out.
