South Dakota Evictions
An eviction is a legal proceeding by which a landlord seeks to reclaim a premise (apartment or home) and remove the tenant. At the McCann, Ribstein & McCarty Law Firm, we represent landlords, property managers and owner’s agents in litigation to enforce the lessor’s rights under a residential or commercial lease. Our experienced legal team can also provide advice regarding the tenant screening process, notices of unpaid rent, the service of process and the terms of their lease forms.
Eviction rules vary by state or jurisdiction, so whether you are an experienced landlord managing thousands of rental units or you are simply renting out the other half of your duplex, contact an experienced attorney at McCann, Ribstein & McCarty for a free initial telephone consultation.
