We have held that the statutory three-day notice to quit prerequisite to commencing an eviction action is jurisdictional. Capp Homes, Inc. v. Ferguson, 86 S.D. 65, 67, 191 N.W.2d 171, 171 (1971) (dismissing the eviction action for lack of jurisdiction against one of the tenants who was not served with a notice to quit before the action was commenced); Meservy, 208 N.W. at 782 (dismissing the eviction action for lack of jurisdiction when the eviction action was commenced before the statutory three days had passed after service of the notice to quit). We have not addressed, however, the proper calculation of the three-day notice period following service of the notice to quit, nor whether SDCL 15-6-6(a) should be applied to calculate whether the three-day time period under SDCL 21-16-2 was satisfied.
