Idaho Code §§ 55-208 to 55-212 § 55-212
ACTION FOR REAL PROPERTY — NOTICE UNNECESSARY.
Operative Text
An action for the possession of real property, leased or granted, with a right of reentry, may be maintained at any time, in the district court, after the right to reenter has accrued, without notice.
Idaho Code Title 55, Chapter 2, § 55-212 establishes that when a lease or grant of real property includes a right of reentry, the holder of that right may bring a court action to reclaim possession as soon as the right to reenter has legally accrued. Crucially, the statute removes any requirement that the party seeking reentry first provide formal notice before filing suit in district court. The rule applies to any such action brought in Idaho's district courts.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 55-212, a property owner or manager whose lease or grant includes a contractual right of reentry is not required by this statute to serve a pre-suit notice before filing a possession action in district court once that right has accrued. Compliant operators typically ensure their lease agreements clearly define the conditions that trigger a right of reentry, so the moment of accrual is well-documented. Because other Idaho statutes and lease terms may still impose separate notice or procedural requirements, operators generally review the full body of applicable law before initiating any court action.

Section 55-212 of the Idaho Code means that a landlord or property grantor whose agreement includes a right of reentry may file a court action for possession without first giving notice, once the triggering conditions have occurred. Tenants or grantees facing such an action may want to examine whether the right of reentry actually accrued under the terms of the agreement, since that accrual is a prerequisite the statute requires. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices can help individuals understand whether any other Idaho statutes or lease provisions might affect the validity or timing of a possession action brought under § 55-212.
