Dakota State University: How can a month-to-month renter avoid an extra month’s rent when leaving Madison?

DIRECT ANSWER

Retained SD Attorney General educational guidance,not a new statutory verification. Its stale two-week deposit-return statement is excluded; current retained §43-32-24 controls that timing. Covered private residential rental only; actual agreement and law govern.

The AG guide calls for notice at least one full rental period before the tenancy’s last day. Its example:for rent due on the first,a June30 departure needs notice by May31;missing that deadline can leave July rent due. A fixed lease’s actual notice and expiration provisions also matter.
