Boise landlords can terminate month-to-month tenancies without cause on 30 days written notice under Idaho Code §55-208, and the city has no local just-cause overlay because Idaho preempts rent regulation.
Idaho is a permissive landlord state. Idaho Code §55-208 allows either party to terminate a month-to-month tenancy on 30 days written notice without stating a reason. Fixed-term leases run to expiration unless the parties agree to renew. Boise has no local just-cause eviction overlay, no relocation-assistance ordinance, and no tenant-protection ordinance because Idaho Code §55-307 expressly preempts local rent control and the broader regulatory regime that often accompanies it. Tenants facing a no-cause termination must vacate or face an unlawful detainer action filed in Ada County District Court.
Tenants who refuse to vacate after a valid 30-day notice face unlawful detainer judgments, possible writ of restitution, and liability for holdover rent under Idaho Code Title 6 Chapter 3.
