Idaho has no statute governing landlord entry into a residential rental. State law sets no required notice period or permitted hours, so access is controlled entirely by the lease. In practice landlords give 'reasonable' notice (often 24 hours) for non-emergencies, but no statutory rule mandates it.
Unlike many states, Idaho's landlord-tenant law contains no provision requiring a landlord to give advance notice before entering to inspect, make repairs, show the unit, or supply services, and none specifying permissible hours of entry. Because there is no statutory standard, the lease agreement governs; if the lease is silent, courts and practitioners apply a general 'reasonable notice' expectation, commonly treated as 24 hours, with no notice needed in a genuine emergency. Tenants seeking notice protection should negotiate an entry clause into the written lease, since the code itself imposes no requirement. There is no statutory remedy aimed specifically at improper entry.
No specific statutory penalty. Because Idaho has no entry statute, a tenant's recourse for abusive entry generally lies in the lease terms or common-law claims (such as trespass or breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment) rather than a dedicated statutory remedy.
