An Idaho 3 Day Notice to Pay or Vacate is used when a tenant has failed to pay rent when due. This notice formally demands that the tenant either pay the full amount of past-due rent within three (3) days or surrender possession of the rental property. If the tenant does not comply within the stated time period, the landlord may pursue an eviction action under Idaho law.
This notice applies specifically to nonpayment of rent and is separate from notices used for other lease violations. It must accurately state the amount owed and be properly served to preserve the landlord’s rights.
What Does Idaho Law Say?
Where the tenant continues in possession after default in the payment of rent, and three (3) days’ notice, in writing, requiring payment of the rent or possession of the property, shall have been served upon the tenant, the landlord may proceed with an unlawful detainer action.
