Landlord & Tenant Laws in Idaho.

A tenant should review the written rental agreement because Idaho allows the lease to extend the deposit-return deadline from 21 days up to 30 days after the tenant vacates.

In Idaho, a landlord generally must return a security deposit, together with a written itemized statement of any deductions, within 21 days after the tenant vacates unless the rental agreement sets a longer period of up to 30 days.

If a landlord wrongfully withholds all or part of a security deposit, Idaho law may allow the tenant to recover the money due and, in the right case, statutory damages together with attorney's fees.
