Answer:
In South Dakota, a lease may be terminated under the following conditions as outlined in S.D. Codified Laws § 43-32-22:
- By the expiration of the agreed term.
- By mutual consent of both parties.
- If the tenant acquires a title to the leased premises that is superior to that of the landlord.
In summary, a lease can end when the agreed term is up, both parties agree to terminate it, or if the tenant gains superior title to the property.
