After A Fire
SDCL § 43-32-19 — the tenant may end the lease when the greater part of the premises is destroyed through no ordinary fault of theirs
A tenant may end a lease before its term when the greater part of the premises, or the part that was the material inducement to lease, is destroyed by any cause other than the tenant's ordinary negligence.
Insurance and the rent already paid raise questions of their own. A particular loss is a question for a licensed South Dakota attorney.
