Notice of Lease Renewal Terms and/or Rent Adjustment

This notice is provided pursuant to Idaho law governing changes to periodic tenancies. Idaho has no statewide rent control, rent caps, or just-cause eviction requirements. Landlords may adjust rent and other lease terms for month-to-month tenancies with proper advance written notice.

Current Lease Status: The existing lease or tenancy for the above Premises began on or about [[Lease Start Date]] and is currently [[month-to-month / fixed-term ending [[Lease Expiration Date]]]]., -

1. Notice type and timing, 30-day written notice required for month-to-month rent changes per Idaho Code §55-208; fixed-term renewal per lease terms

For a month-to-month tenancy in Idaho, a landlord must provide at least 30 days' written notice of any change in rent or other material lease terms before the change becomes effective. The notice must be served in a manner reasonably calculated to reach the tenant (personal delivery, leaving at the premises with a person of suitable age and discretion plus mailing, or certified mail).

For a fixed-term lease, any renewal offer or rent adjustment for a new term must be communicated sufficiently in advance of the lease expiration to allow the tenant to respond before any contractual notice-to-vacate deadline (commonly 30, 60 days prior to expiration as stated in the lease).

Type of Notice: [[30-Day Notice of Rent Increase / Notice of Lease Renewal Terms / Notice of Non-Renewal]]

Effective Date of Change: [[Effective Date]] (at least 30 days after service for month-to-month changes), -

2. Idaho rent-control status, Idaho has NO rent cap; any increase amount is permitted with proper notice

Idaho has no rent control or rent caps. Idaho Code does not limit the amount or frequency of rent increases on residential property, provided proper notice is given for month-to-month tenancies. Local governments are also preempted from imposing rent control in most circumstances.

Any proposed new monthly rent is lawful if the notice requirements are met and the tenant is given the option to accept the new terms or vacate.

Additional Guidance for Landlords and Tenants

• Rent increases during a fixed-term lease are not permitted unless the lease itself contains an escalation clause.
• For tenants on month-to-month, the 30-day notice period protects the tenant's ability to plan and relocate if the new terms are unacceptable.
• Either party may negotiate. Tenants are encouraged to respond in writing (email is usually acceptable) if they wish to discuss the proposed terms.
• Record retention: Landlord should keep a copy of this notice together with proof of service for at least one year after the tenancy ends.
• If the tenant remains after the effective date without objection, the new rent and terms are binding for the next period.
