Idaho Code §§ 55-2001 to 55-2020 § 55-2002
GOOD FAITH.
Operative Text
Every duty under this chapter and every act which must be performed as a condition precedent to the exercise of a right or remedy under this chapter imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance or enforcement.
Section 55-2002 of Idaho's Manufactured Home Residency Act establishes that every duty and every required act under the chapter must be carried out in good faith. This means that neither party can technically comply with the letter of a requirement while acting dishonestly, deceptively, or in bad faith to undermine the other party's rights. The good-faith obligation applies both when performing duties and when enforcing or exercising rights and remedies under the Act.

Under § 55-2002, property owners and managers operating manufactured home communities in Idaho are expected to act honestly and fairly when carrying out any obligation or exercising any right under the Manufactured Home Residency Act. Compliant operators generally ensure that notices, lease enforcement actions, and other required procedures reflect genuine, transparent intentions rather than pretextual or manipulative motives. Documenting the legitimate business reasons behind management decisions can help demonstrate that actions taken under the Act were made in good faith.

Section 55-2002 gives residents of manufactured home communities in Idaho a foundational protection: any duty or condition required under the Manufactured Home Residency Act must be performed honestly and in good faith by all parties. If a landlord appears to be technically complying with a procedural requirement while acting in a deceptive or retaliatory manner, the good-faith obligation under this section may be relevant to a dispute. Tenants who believe this standard has been violated can explore options such as raising the issue as a defense in a legal proceeding, contacting a tenant-rights organization in Idaho, or consulting with a legal aid provider familiar with manufactured housing law.
