Idaho Code §§ 55-208 to 55-212 § 55-210
RIGHT OF REENTRY.
Operative Text
Whenever the right of reentry is given to a grantor or a lessor in any grant or lease, or otherwise, such reentry may be made at any time after the right has accrued, upon three (3) days’ notice, as provided in the Code of Civil Procedure.
Idaho Code § 55-210 establishes that when a deed, lease, or other instrument reserves a right of reentry for the grantor or lessor, that right can be exercised after it has accrued by giving three days' notice as specified in Idaho's Code of Civil Procedure. The provision sets a minimum procedural step—the three-day notice—before a grantor or lessor may physically or legally reenter the property. It does not itself define what events trigger the right of reentry; those conditions are determined by the underlying grant, lease, or other governing document.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Idaho Code § 55-210, a property owner or lessor whose grant or lease includes a right-of-reentry clause must wait until that right has actually accrued before acting on it, and must then deliver the required three-day notice in the manner prescribed by Idaho's Code of Civil Procedure. Compliant operators typically ensure their lease or deed language clearly defines the conditions that trigger reentry, maintain documentation showing when those conditions were met, and follow the statutory notice procedure precisely. Skipping or shortening the notice period can undermine the validity of a reentry action.

Idaho Code § 55-210 means that even when a lease or other instrument gives a landlord or grantor a right of reentry, that party cannot simply reenter the property without first providing three days' notice after the triggering condition has occurred. Tenants who believe a reentry is being attempted without proper notice or before the right has legally accrued may have grounds to raise that procedural deficiency. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices can help occupants understand whether the notice requirements of § 55-210 and the Code of Civil Procedure were properly followed in a given situation.
