IDAPA 45.01.01 § 011 establishes who may speak or appear on behalf of different types of parties in proceedings before the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. Individuals may represent themselves, use an attorney, or have a family member appear for them, while businesses, partnerships, LLCs, corporations, and government or nonprofit entities must be represented by an officer, authorized employee, or attorney. The rule ensures that every party appearing before the Commission does so through a recognized and appropriate representative.

Under IDAPA 45.01.01 § 011, a landlord who is an individual may appear before the Commission personally, through a family member, or through an attorney. A landlord operating as a corporation, LLC, or partnership would need to appear through an officer, authorized employee, or attorney. Operators who manage properties through formal business entities generally confirm in advance that the person appearing on their behalf meets one of these recognized representative categories.

IDAPA 45.01.01 § 011 gives individual tenants the right to represent themselves directly in Commission proceedings, or to bring a family member or attorney to represent them. Tenants who are unsure whether their situation calls for legal representation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Idaho utility commission procedures. Understanding who is permitted to speak on your behalf can be an important step before participating in any formal Commission proceeding.
