Idaho Code §§ 55-2001 to 55-2020 § 55-2010
TERMINATIONS.
Operative Text
(1) Tenancy during the term of a rental agreement may be terminated by the landlord only for one (1) or more of the following reasons: (a) Substantial or repeated violation of the rental agreement or the written rules of the community. The resident shall be given written notice to comply. If the resident does not comply within three (3) days, the resident may be given notice of a twenty (20) day period in which to vacate. In the case of periodic rather than continuous violation, said notice shall specify that the same violation repeated shall result in the termination. (b) Nonpayment of rent or other charges specified in the rental agreement. The resident shall be given written notice. If the resident does not pay within three (3) days the resident may be given notice of a thirty (30) day period in which to vacate. (c) Closure of the community or any portion thereof by order of a federal, state or local authority. The resident shall be given the notice required by such order. (d) In the event of a taking of the community or any portion thereof by eminent domain or cessation of the lot rental operation or a portion thereof, the landlord shall give the affected resident and any subtenant not less than one hundred eighty (180) days’ notice in writing prior to the date designated in the notice of termination. After the date notice of termination has been given as provided in this subsection, the landlord shall provide a copy of such notice to any prospective resident or purchaser if the home is to remain in the community. The landlord may not increase the rent during the notice period. This section does not limit a landlord’s right to terminate a tenancy for nonpayment of rent or for other causes under this chapter during the closure period. (e) Abandonment. (2) Except when a rental agreement is terminated for the reason provided in paragraph (e) of subsection (1) of this section, a landlord shall give the resident no less than ninety (90) days’ written notice of an intention not to renew the rental agreement. (3) A resident shall notify the landlord in writing thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of a rental agreement of an intention not to renew the rental agreement. (4) Any resident who is a member of the armed forces, including the national guard and armed forces reserves, may, without penalty, terminate a rental agreement with less than thirty (30) days’ notice if he receives reassignment or deployment orders which do not allow greater notice. (5) The resident may terminate the rental agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice whenever a change in the location of the resident’s employment requires a change in his residence.
Idaho Code § 55-2010 of the Manufactured Home Residency Act limits the grounds on which a landlord may end a tenancy during a lease term to specific causes: substantial or repeated rule violations, nonpayment of rent, government-ordered community closure, eminent domain or cessation of lot rental operations, or abandonment. Each cause carries its own required notice period, ranging from three days to cure a violation up to 180 days for eminent domain situations. Tenants also have rights to terminate early under certain circumstances, such as military deployment or a job-related relocation requiring a change of residence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 55-2010, compliant operators document each termination ground carefully and deliver written notices that match the statutory timelines — three days to cure a rule violation before issuing a 20-day vacate notice, or three days to pay before issuing a 30-day vacate notice for nonpayment. For eminent domain or lot-rental cessation, operators provide at least 180 days' written notice and refrain from raising rent during that period. Landlords who intend not to renew a rental agreement generally provide at least 90 days' written notice, except in abandonment situations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 55-2010 gives manufactured-home residents specific protections against termination, including the right to a written cure period before a vacate notice can be issued for rule violations or nonpayment. Residents who are active-duty military members or who must relocate due to a job change may terminate their rental agreement early without the standard 30-day notice requirement. Tenants who believe a termination notice does not comply with § 55-2010 may raise that noncompliance as a defense in eviction proceedings or seek guidance from a local tenant-rights organization.
