Idaho Lease Contract

Idaho Lease Contract Forms

The Idaho Lease Contract is used to form an agreement between a lessor and a lessee. The contract grants the lessee with the right to use property specified in the lease contract for a specified term in exchange for payments to the lessor. The Idaho Residential Lease Agreement is the most common type of lease contract used by landlords and Idaho property management companies.

Idaho Lease Contract - What should I Know?

Your Idaho Lease Contract will probably continue for a fixed term (for tenancies at will, see the month-to-month Idaho rental agreement). Most property mangers and rental property owners prefer their Idaho lease agreement to last for a fixed term and then continue month-to-month until the tenancy is ended by the Landlord (lessor) or the Tenant (lessee) by providing written notice in advance. You should examine your lease contract to understand the minimum lease term and any actions that must be taken to terminate the lease contract.

Is Notice Required to Terminate Idaho Lease Contracts?

Idaho has specific laws that govern Residential Lease Agreements, and if you have a tenancy at will (also known as month-to-month lease agreement), you will probably need to use the Idaho Notice to Vacate to end your lease contract. This is different than the Idaho Notice to Quit, which is instead used to terminate the lease when there is a breach in contract. The Idaho Landlord Notice to Vacate can be used by landlords LLNOTIFY to notify tenants that the lease will terminate and the property must be returned. Tenants can use the Idaho Tenant Notice to Vacate TTNOTIFY to terminate their rental agreement with the landlord. Most states have very specific rules, and Idaho is no exception. You can learn more about Idaho tenant rights and protections from the Idaho Department of Housing and Urban Department website. Keep in mind that the Idaho Lease Termination Notice is not the same as the Idaho Eviction Notice, and that a Writ of Possession can only be issued by the courts in an unlawful detainer lawsuit.

Idaho Lease Contracts - What else should I know?
