Landlords

Late or non-payment of rent can result in fees and serious consequences for your property investment. Tenants breaching other provisions of the lease can further result in substantial additional damage.

Landlords can pursue a judgment for eviction, damages, and attorneys fees against the tenant for a tenant’s breach. However, landlords must also follow specific procedures outlined in the Idaho Code to do so including providing the required notice, commencing the appropriate eviction proceedings, and requesting damages at the appropriate time. The Idaho Code provides for expedited proceedings to evict tenants in certain situations, non-payment of rent or reasonable suspicion of drug related activities occurring on the property.

Tenants

Tenants might have the legal recourse of the landlord attempts to terminate the lease early, improperly charges the tenant, enters the premises without proper notice, fails to provide required maintenance with a reasonable period of time, claims too much of a security deposit, or inappropriately terminates utilities. If discussions, complaints, and confrontations have failed to correct the situation, feel free to contact us.
