Idaho Code §§ 55-2701 to 55-2720 § 55-2705
THIS CHAPTER GOVERNS.
Operative Text
This chapter shall regulate and determine legal rights, remedies and obligations arising from any rental agreement between a landlord and tenant regarding a floating home moorage, except in those instances in which the landlord is renting both the moorage site and the floating home to the tenant. All such rental agreements shall be unenforceable to the extent of any conflict with any provision of this chapter. This chapter does not abrogate any rights the landlord or tenant has under the laws and constitution of the United States and the state of Idaho.
Idaho Code Title 55, Chapter 27 — the Floating Homes Residency Act — establishes the governing legal framework for rental agreements between landlords and tenants involving floating home moorage sites. Under § 55-2705, any term in such a rental agreement that conflicts with the chapter's provisions is unenforceable to that extent. The chapter does not apply when a landlord rents both the moorage site and the floating home itself to the same tenant, and it does not strip away any rights that either party holds under federal or Idaho law or constitutional protections.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators who rent moorage sites for floating homes should be aware that § 55-2705 makes the Floating Homes Residency Act the controlling authority over those rental agreements, meaning any lease clause that conflicts with the chapter's requirements will not be enforceable. Compliant operators generally review their moorage agreements to ensure terms align with the chapter's standards rather than attempting to contract around them. Landlords who rent both the moorage site and the floating home unit together should note that this chapter does not govern those combined arrangements, though other Idaho law may still apply.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants renting a floating home moorage site in Idaho have their legal rights, remedies, and obligations defined primarily by § 55-2705 and the broader Floating Homes Residency Act, and any lease provision that conflicts with the chapter cannot be enforced against them. If a landlord attempts to rely on a lease term that contradicts the chapter, tenants may be able to raise that conflict as a defense in a legal proceeding. Tenants seeking to understand how these protections apply to their situation can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Idaho housing law.
