revise provisions regarding termination of a lease by a victim of alleged domestic abuse.

HB 1123 makes it easier for domestic abuse victims to break their lease agreements early without penalty. The bill amends South Dakota's lease termination laws to allow victims of alleged domestic abuse to end residential or commercial leases by providing notice and evidence of the abuse, rather than being locked into their current lease terms.

revise tenant and landlord rights.

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.

revise the attorney's fees allowed in a retaliation action against a lessor.

HB 1246 changes the rules for attorney's fees that tenants can recover when they win retaliation cases against their landlords under South Dakota law. The bill modifies Section 22-42-1, which governs these fee awards in disputes where landlords punish tenants for exercising their legal rights. The specific changes to what fees are allowed or how they're calculated would require reviewing the actual amended language in the bill.
