How many days does a tenant get to pay late rent in Idaho?
In Idaho, before starting a nonpayment case a landlord must serve a written notice giving the tenant 3 days to pay the rent due. This is Idaho Code §§ 55-307(3), 55-208(1), 6-303(2).
| What | Idaho |
|---|---|
| Notice before a nonpayment case | 3 days |
| What the notice demands | Pay the rent due, or the tenancy can end |
Notes
Written notice of a rent increase, or of the landlord's intention not to renew, must be given at least 30 days before it takes effect (as amended in 2024). A tenancy at will ends on not less than one month's written notice. Nonpayment: a three-day written notice demanding the rent or possession. No entry-notice period is published here.
