Eviction Notices for Nonpayment of Rent in Idaho
In Idaho, if a tenant does not pay rent the day it is due, then the very next day, a landlord can give the tenant a three-day notice to pay rent or vacate. The landlord can give this notice to the tenant the day after rent is due, if the rent remains unpaid. This notice informs the tenant that the tenant has three days to pay rent in full or move out of the rental unit. check to learn more.
Tenant Defenses to Evictions in Idaho
In Idaho, it is illegal for a landlord to force a tenant to move out of a rental unit. Even if the landlord wins the eviction lawsuit, the only person authorized to remove the tenant from the unit is a law enforcement officer. check to learn more.
The Idaho eviction process does not permit landlords to take matters into their own hands, or to self-evict a tenant, by changing the locks, turning off utilities, or by confiscating the tenant’s personal property, all of which could subject the landlord to substantial financial penalties such as treble damages for forcible or unlawful entry. check to learn more.
