Idaho Eviction Notice

Use our Idaho Eviction Notice to remove a tenant from your rental property.

Published August 6, 2020 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

If you’re a landlord seeking to evict a tenant, use an Idaho (ID) eviction notice to begin the process. Your eviction notice must be written according to Idaho state law, and give your tenant the legally required amount of time to respond or move out.

In Idaho, eviction lawsuits are governed by Title 6, Chapter 3 of the Idaho Statutes.

If you wish to send a letter simply reminding your tenant that rent is late (without threat of eviction), use a late rent notice.


Eviction Laws & Requirements

  • Laws: Title 6, Chapter 3
  • Rent Payment Grace Period: No specific grace period defined by the law, but if the lease agreement contains a grace period, the landlord must honor it.
  • Notice of Non-Compliance: 3 days (§ 6-303(2))
  • Late or Non-Rent Payment Notice: 3 days (§ 6-303(3))
  • Lease Termination (Month-to-Month): 30 days  (§ 55-208)
  • Eviction Lawsuit: Forcible Entry and Unlawful Detainer (§ 6-301 – 6-324)

What is the Eviction Process in Idaho?

Step 1: Give the Tenant an Eviction Notice

Giving the tenant the proper type of eviction notice officially begins the eviction process. Depending on the reason for the eviction, you will provide the tenant with a late rent notice, non-compliance notice, or lease termination notice, which states the reason for the eviction and the date when the tenant must either pay the rent or cure the lease violation.

Step 2: File an Eviction Lawsuit with the Court

If the tenant continues to stay on the property despite not paying the rent or complying with other lease terms, the next step is to file an eviction lawsuit in the district court where the rental property is located. At this stage, you must prepare several documents and file them with the court, including:

  • General Civil Case Information Sheet
  • Complaint for Eviction
  • Summons for Eviction

Step 3: Serve the Tenant

Once you’ve filed the necessary documents with the court, you then need to legally serve the tenant with them. The process server will complete the Affidavit of Service of Summons & Complaint, and serve the tenant the relevant paperwork. Follow these directions for help.

Step 4: Prepare the Necessary Documents for the Court

The tenant has five days to respond from the date they were served with the summons and complaint. If the tenant doesn’t respond, the landlord can prepare the required documents for a default judgment so they can repossess the premises.

These documents include:

  • Motion and Affidavit for Entry of Default Judgment
  • Memorandum of Costs
  • Judgment for Eviction
  • Writ of Restitution of Premises

Step 5: Attend the Hearing

If the landlord wins in court or the tenant fails to respond, the judge will sign the necessary documents to complete the eviction process. The landlord can give the sheriff’s office the writ of Restitution of Premises to reclaim the rental unit.
