A South Dakota-compliant lease with every disclosure the state requires built in, not bolted on — 4 state-specific clauses plus 11 universal ones. Fill it in, e-sign it, and it lives with the tenant record.
South Dakota uses a two-step deposit deadline: the landlord returns the deposit, or a partial refund, within two weeks and then has 45 days to provide the itemized accounting if the tenant asks (SDCL § 43-32-24). Deposits are capped at one month’s rent.
These are the clauses and disclosures our South Dakota template carries. Each cites the statute it comes from; the ones marked checkbox are filled from your property's answers.
