Landlord-Tenant Laws

The Office of the Attorney General provides a reference guide known as the Landlord and Tenant Manual that outlines the legal rights and responsibilities of individuals participating on either side of a rental agreement.

Required Landlord Disclosures

Idaho has no state-required disclosure statements that need to be included within the content of a lease agreement. The only disclosure that a landlord is obligated to fulfill is the federally demanded Lead-Based Paint Disclosure (if the building was constructed prior to 1978). This will include an informative brochure educating readers about the dangers linked to lead exposure as well as any factual details regarding the lead hazards that may be present within the property.

When is Rent Late?

Idaho’s code of law does not contain a statute that designates a specific due date or grace period. The time and location in which the sum of the rent is to be paid should be disclosed within the lease agreement before the prospective tenant occupies the property.

Late Fees

There is no legal stipulation that ordains a limitation on the sum of a late rent payment charged by the landlord. All fees should be disclosed within the contract before signing (as mentioned on page 6 of the Landlord and Tenant Manual).

NSF Checks

If a landlord receives a bad check from the tenant and both parties cannot come to a resolution on the penalty, the landlord may file a civil lawsuit in small claims court for the value written on the check, as well as an additional $100 or three (3) times the amount listed on the check (§ 1-2301A).

Security Deposit Maximum

There is no state-regulated maximum security deposit a lessor can request from a prospective lessee. The amount should be agreed upon and transcribed to the rental agreement before the commencement of the occupancy.

Security Deposit Return

If there is no set time period for the return of a security deposit within the written agreement, the landlord has twenty-one (21) days from the time the tenant vacates the premises. Thirty (30) days is the maximum timeframe a landlord can stipulate within the contract for the refund of a deposit (§ 6-321).

Landlord’s Entry

Within the context of the state’s law, there is no fixed number of days or hours that a landlord has to give prior notice to enter the domicile of a current lessee. It is highly recommended to include a reasonable timespan within the rental contract before commencing the tenancy (addressed in the following manual excerpts).
