Landlord notice deadlines — Idaho
In Idaho, the checked deadlines on this page cover: pay or quit, ending a tenancy, raising the rent. Each figure carries its statute and the stamp Rules checked October 2026. Run your exact dates through the checker — the period is only half the answer; the counting rule is the other half.
| Pay or quit | 3 calendar days — the tenant may pay and cure (Idaho Code § 6-303(2)). 3 days to pay or quit. The notice must state the exact amount owed. |
|---|---|
| End a tenancy | 30 days — month-to-month (Idaho Code §§ 55-208, 55-304(2)). At least 30 days' written notice. Section 55-208 sets one month's notice to end a tenancy at will; § 55-304(2) separately requires a residential landlord to give written notice of nonrenewal at least 30 days before the nonrenewal takes effect. |
| Raise the rent | 30 days (Idaho Code § 55-304(2)). No cap on the amount; a rent increase needs at least 30 days' written notice before it takes effect. |
| How days are counted | The first day is excluded; the last day is excluded only if it is a holiday — weekends otherwise count (Idaho Code § 73-109). |
| Allowed service methods | personal delivery first if the tenant is absent from residence and business: leave with a person of suitable age and mail a copy posting plus mailing only as a last resort (Idaho Code § 6-304) |
| Just cause | No statewide just-cause requirement. |

Local rules sit on top of state law in many places — city just-cause lists, rent boards, and prescribed local forms. A state deadline is the floor of the analysis, never a promise that no local rule adds to it.
The paper that goes with the date
The checker gives you the date. The kit gives you the notices: pay or quit, non-renewal / termination, and rent increase letters generated from these same checked deadlines, a letter builder that fills in your dates and names, the move-in and move-out inspection checklists, and the proof-of-service checklist.
One-time payment. No subscription. The checker stays free either way.
