South Dakota Subletting & assignment

Can a tenant sublet an apartment in South Dakota?

South Dakota's landlord-tenant law (SDCL ch. 43-32, read in full on 2026-10-16) has no rule requiring landlord consent to sublet or assign; the lease terms control, and a landlord's lease remedies run against assignees (§ 43-32-20).
