Renter Information
This Landlord Tenant Manual was created by the Idaho Attorney General's Office and describes both landlord and tenant's rights and responsibilities in areas such as moving in, lease agreements, privacy, repairs and damages, utilities, mold, rent, changing the lease agreement, moving out, the Manufactured Home Residency Act, and storage units. This manual also includes citations to relevant law in these areas.

Moving out and worried about your security deposit? This set of handouts explains your rights in plain language and gives you ready-to-use tools to get your money back.
In Idaho, a landlord must return the full deposit, or send a written, itemized list of deductions, within 21 days after your lease ends (or 30 days if your lease says so), and can’t charge for normal wear and tear. If that doesn’t happen, you can send a short demand letter and, if needed, take next steps in Small Claims Court. Resources are available in English and Spanish, so you can choose what works best for you.
