Black Hills State University: Can a private landlord or sales agent enter whenever an employee is at work?

DIRECT ANSWER

Retained Attorney General educational guide, not fresh statutory certification; no application of its superseded deposit-return deadline.

The retained South Dakota consumer guide describes reasonable inspections at reasonable times after twenty-four-hour notice, with no-notice entry for emergencies. It applies the same entry rules to sales agents and warns that continued refusal of reasonable access can lead to a court order or eviction and actual losses. Arrange lawful access around work rather than assume either unrestricted landlord entry or an absolute right to refuse it.
