Idaho Code §§ 55-2701 to 55-2720 § 55-2703
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 55-2703 of Idaho's Floating Homes 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 the law while acting dishonestly or in bad faith to undermine the other party's rights. The good-faith obligation applies both to performing duties and to enforcing rights or remedies under the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 55-2703, operators of floating home marinas are expected to carry out all duties imposed by the Floating Homes Residency Act honestly and fairly, not merely in technical compliance. Compliant operators generally ensure that notices, lease terms, and any conditions required before exercising a right or remedy are handled transparently and without deceptive intent. Documenting the reasoning behind management decisions can help demonstrate that actions taken under the chapter were consistent with this good-faith standard.

Section 55-2703 gives floating home residents a basis to challenge actions by a marina operator that, while perhaps technically compliant on the surface, were carried out in a manner that was dishonest or designed to circumvent the protections of the Floating Homes Residency Act. If a tenant believes a landlord has acted in bad faith in performing a duty or exercising a remedy under the chapter, that concern can potentially be raised as a defense in a legal proceeding or explored with a tenant-rights organization familiar with Idaho housing law. Keeping records of communications and actions related to any duty or condition under the chapter can be useful when evaluating whether § 55-2703 is relevant to a dispute.
