Idaho Security Deposit, Rent Increase & Habitability Assessment

Reviews deposit accounting, rent notices, repairs, habitability, retaliation, records, local rules, and possible remedies.

Who this is for: residential tenants evaluating deposit, rent, or repair concerns.

Idaho law note (August 12, 2026): Idaho generally requires a residential security deposit and itemized accounting to be returned within 21 days after the tenancy ends unless the lease sets a longer period, which cannot exceed 30 days. A common nonpayment eviction begins with a three-day notice, but notice, service, repair, lease, and expedited-court requirements depend on the asserted ground and current forms.
