South Dakota eviction process

3 days nonpayment notice.

Nonpayment requires a 3-day notice to quit; lease violations also use a 3-day notice. Month-to-month tenancies end on 30 days' notice.

What this means for you: Paying within 3 days stops a nonpayment eviction.

Your next step: Note the 3-day deadline and pay if you can.
