The itemized statement South Dakota requires when you keep any part of a deposit — due within 45 days under SDCL §§ 43-32-6.1, 43-32-24 — generated from the deposit settlement in your ledger, with every deduction, the refund and the statute already in it.
Pick the situation; the rule on each card is South Dakota's statutory minimum — your lease can be more generous to the tenant, never less.
SDCL §§ 43-32-6.1, 43-32-242 weeks; itemized accounting within 45 days on request (SDCL §§ 43-32-6.1, 43-32-24).
Unpaid rent and charges the lease allows, and damage beyond normal wear and tear. Not routine cleaning, repainting, or carpet wear from ordinary use. Each deduction must be itemized.
Yes: One month’s rent.
No.
The statement shows the balance owed and the tenant is liable for it. The in-app settlement posts the difference to accounts receivable so it is not forgotten.
