Understand Idaho leases, deposits, and evictions step by step
3-day notices, the 12-day eviction trial, security deposit returns in 21 or 30 days, and a landlord's repair duties under Idaho Code § 6-320.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
A rent payment is late, a repair has not been made, or a deposit has not come back. In Idaho, the deadlines that follow are short and specific.
The Idaho Landlord-Tenant Guide explains the statutes that govern residential rentals, centered on Title 6, Chapter 3 of the Idaho Code. It shows how an eviction, called an unlawful detainer action, moves through the Magistrate Division, from the 3-day notice to pay or quit to the judgment and writ of restitution.
The guide covers what makes Idaho different, including:
• No rent control, with 30 days' written notice before a residential rent increase
• A trial within 12 days for possession-only cases based on unpaid rent or drug activity
• The landlord's listed repair duties under Idaho Code § 6-320, in place of a broad warranty of habitability
• Security deposit return within 21 days, or up to 30 days by agreement, under § 6-321
• Late fees that must be reasonable
Separate chapters follow the tenant and the landlord, with answers on rent withholding, entry, abandoned property, and terminating month-to-month tenancies. Checklists, a glossary, and links to official court forms complete the guide.
For Idaho tenants and landlords on either side of a rental. Legal information, not legal advice.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
Idaho landlord tenant law: what to know before you order.
Straight answers about what the guide is, what it covers and how it reaches you.
How long does an Idaho landlord have to return a security deposit?
If the lease is silent, 21 days after the tenant surrenders the premises; by agreement, up to 30 days at most (Idaho Code § 6-321). The guide explains allowed deductions.
Can a tenant withhold rent for repairs in Idaho?
The Idaho Code does not provide a rent-withholding remedy. The guide explains the three-day written notice and lawsuit process under Idaho Code § 6-320 instead.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is legal information in plain language, cited to the law, so you understand your options and know what to ask. Reading it creates no attorney-client relationship.
