Idaho Code §§ 55-2701 to 55-2720 § 55-2709
EVICTION FROM MARINA.
Operative Text
The landlord shall not terminate or refuse to renew a tenancy, except for a reason specified in this chapter and upon the giving of not less than ninety (90) days’ written notice to the tenant in the manner prescribed by this section, to remove the floating home from the floating home marina within a period of not less than ninety (90) days, which period shall be specified in the notice. A copy of this notice shall be served upon the legal owner of the floating home either by: (1) Personally serving a copy of the notice upon the legal owner; or (2) Mailing a copy of the notice to the last known address of the legal owner and posting the notice conspicuously upon the floating home residence.
Under Idaho Code Title 55, Chapter 27, § 55-2709, a landlord operating a floating home marina may not end or decline to renew a tenancy unless a valid reason recognized by the Floating Homes Residency Act exists and at least 90 days' written notice has been provided. The notice must specify the date by which the floating home must be removed, and that deadline cannot be fewer than 90 days from the notice date. The notice must be delivered to the legal owner of the floating home either in person or by mail to their last known address combined with conspicuous posting on the floating home itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of floating home marinas subject to § 55-2709 generally ensure that any termination or non-renewal of tenancy is grounded in a reason the Floating Homes Residency Act recognizes, and that written notice is issued at least 90 days before the required removal date. Compliant marina operators document the specific removal deadline in the notice itself and serve it on the legal owner through one of the two methods the statute prescribes — personal service, or simultaneous mailing and conspicuous posting on the floating home. Maintaining records of how and when notice was delivered helps demonstrate compliance with the procedural requirements of § 55-2709.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 55-2709 of the Idaho Floating Homes Residency Act, tenants and legal owners of floating homes have the right to at least 90 days' written notice before being required to remove a floating home from a marina, and that notice must cite a legally recognized reason for termination. If a notice appears to lack a valid statutory basis, fails to provide the full 90-day period, or was not delivered in the manner the statute requires, those procedural deficiencies may be relevant to any challenge of the eviction. Tenants who believe a notice does not comply with § 55-2709 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Idaho housing law to understand the options available to them.
