Overview
Lease Agreements in Idaho
Idaho landlord-tenant law is primarily governed by Idaho Code § 55-201 et seq. and § 6-310. Idaho is a landlord-friendly state with no cap on security deposits and a 3-day notice for non-payment of rent.
Idaho has no rent control, and state law does not preempt local ordinances — though no Idaho city currently has rent control. Deposits must be returned within 30 days.
