South Dakota lease renewal guide

Confirm term and rent

Read the existing agreement

Check the end date, renewal option, and notice provisions. For a month-to-month tenancy, section 43-32-13 generally requires the landlord to give written notice at least 30 days before the end of the month to change the terms at month-end. The tenant may give notice within 15 days of receiving the change to end the lease effective the first day of the next month. Official source

Check the security deposit

Keep the amount already held

Section 43-32-6.1 generally limits the deposit to one month's rent, unless the parties agree to a larger deposit under the special condition specified in the law. Keep the balance and move-in condition records. Official source

Use the 2026 deposit deadline

The amendment to section 43-32-24 provides 21 days after termination and receipt of mailing or delivery instructions for return or a written explanation of withholding. It also requires an itemized accounting within 45 days of termination upon request. Preserve the documentation and distinguish damage from ordinary wear. Official source

Complete and sign

Preserve applicable obligations

Retain the original lease, maintenance records and applicable attachments. Sign one row per tenant and deliver complete signed copies.

Renew with clear terms

This agreement extends an existing lease and records the renewed rent. Lawful terms not expressly changed continue. It does not replace the original lease, create a new automatic-renewal clause, extend a guaranty, or require the tenant to leave when the new term ends.

State guidance is a starting point, not a determination of local coverage or a legal opinion. Rent-regulated and subsidized housing can require prescribed forms. Review the official sources shown for your state and get qualified advice for special cases.
