Free Idaho Eviction Notice Template

An Idaho eviction notice is a legal form landlords must serve before filing an eviction case in district court. It explains why the tenant must leave, the time they have to fix the issue or move out, and the legal steps that follow if they don’t comply. Eviction procedures must follow Idaho Code §§ 6-301–6-324.

Idaho law sets strict timelines depending on the situation. Use Document Genius to choose the right notice from the dropdown before generating your form.

• 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit (ID Code § 6-303(2)): Served when tenants fail to pay rent on time. Gives them three days to pay in full or move out before an eviction case can be filed.
• 3-Day Notice to Quit for Non-Compliance (ID Code § 6-303(3)): Used for other lease violations, such as property damage or unauthorized occupants. Tenants have three days to correct the issue or leave.
• 30-Day Lease Termination Notice (ID Code § 55-208): For month-to-month tenancies, landlords must give 30 days’ notice to end the rental agreement even if no lease violation occurred.

Follow these steps to create a valid notice:

1. Choose the correct notice type based on your situation.
2. List tenant and landlord details with the property address.
3. Explain the reason for eviction if state law requires it.
4. Include the legal deadline for payment, compliance, or moving out.
5. Sign and date the notice before delivering it to the tenant.

Idaho law allows landlords to deliver eviction notices by:

• Personal delivery to the tenant
• Posting the notice at the rental property
• Sending it via certified or registered mail

Keep proof of delivery in case the eviction moves to court.

If the tenant doesn’t comply within the deadline:

• File a Complaint for Eviction and Summons in district court
• After being served with a summons and complaint, the court date set in the summons must be at least five days after service. This does not guarantee the tenant five days to respond; rather, it ensures a minimum of five days before the hearing takes place.
• If they don’t respond, the court may issue a default judgment (ID Code § 6-310(2))
• A Writ of Restitution allows law enforcement to remove the tenant if necessary

Landlords may need these forms for Idaho eviction cases:

• Complaint for Eviction: Starts the eviction lawsuit in district court
• Summons for Eviction: Notifies the tenant about the eviction case and hearing date
• Judgment for Eviction: Court order returning possession of the property to the landlord
• Writ of Restitution of Premises: Authorizes law enforcement to remove the tenant if they refuse to leave voluntarily
