Your South Dakota move-out, dated from notice to deposit.
Enter your lease end or the day you give notice. You get every step that matters, each with its date and the statute behind it: notice, the steps that start your landlord's clock, report day, keys, and the day the deposit is due.
Send your forwarding address in writing (starts the clock)Starts the clock
South Dakota makes this a precondition: “Every lessor of residential premises shall, within twenty-one days after the termination of the tenancy and receipt of the tenant's mailing address or delivery instructions, return the security deposit… or furnish to the tenant a written statement showing the specific reason for withholding the deposit”. Send it on move-out day and keep proof of sending.

If nothing has arrived: send the demand letterYour deadline
Late is a fact you can put in writing. The letter cites S.D. Codified Laws §43-32-24 and the date it was due.
Small claims, if the demand goes unanswered
We haven't checked South Dakota's small-claims limit yet. The date assumes the 10-day reply window housr suggests in the letter.
