Idaho Eviction Notice FAQs
-
Am I allowed to evict tenants for not paying rent in Idaho?
Under normal circumstances, the answer is yes. You can make an Idaho Eviction Notice (specifically known as a 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit) to begin the process. However, due to COVID-19, some protections and limitations have been put in place for tenants. While the federal eviction moratorium was struck down, the state and municipal governments in Idaho have the authority to create and enforce their own regulations for residential evictions. Check out the talk to a local lawyer for further input.

Why would a property owner use an Eviction Notice in Idaho?
If you wish to legally remove a tenant from a rental property, you are required to provide them with a Notice of Eviction first. Here are a few reasons why you might need one:
- The tenant is continuously late to pay rent or payments have fallen behind schedule
- The tenant has caused substantial damage
- The tenant disturbs the quiet enjoyment of other renters
- The tenant is using their unit illegally
- The tenant brings in a pet and your lease does not permit animals
- The tenant gets a subletter in breach of the lease terms
In addition to these examples, tenants generally can be evicted for reasons unrelated to their conduct, such as when the owner needs to move back in. Keep in mind that the list above isn't exhaustive and the acceptable reasons for eviction can vary from town to town, among other factors. If you've got any hesitations about Idaho eviction laws, you can always talk to an attorney.

Am I required to do anything else after writing a Notice of Eviction/Notice to Quit in Idaho?
Once you've created your Idaho Eviction Notice with Rocket Lawyer, you will be able to open it on any device.

You have several different options available for serving the notice:
- Hire a third-party process server
- Deliver the notice in person
- Send it by certified mail
It is important to remember that "self-help" or "do-it-yourself" evictions are illegal.

Taking the appropriate lawful actions before and during the eviction process will put you in the best position to remove tenants successfully under a court order.
