HB1168 updates South Dakota's eviction laws by clarifying the legal grounds landlords can use to remove tenants through a forcible detainer action. The bill specifically adds a new provision allowing evictions when a tenant violates a material term of their written lease agreement, expanding the reasons beyond non-payment of rent or holding over after lease expiration. This gives landlords an additional tool to enforce lease terms beyond the three-day rent payment deadline currently specified in law.
