Boise does not require landlords to pay relocation assistance for no-fault terminations, redevelopment, or substantial rehab because Idaho Code §55-307 preempts local rent and tenant-displacement regulation.
Cities such as Seattle and Portland mandate thousands of dollars in relocation payments when landlords end tenancies for owner move-in, demolition, or rehab. Boise has no equivalent ordinance because Idaho Code §55-307 preempts municipal rent control and the related tenant-displacement frameworks that often accompany it. Tenants displaced by sale, redevelopment, or no-cause termination receive only the 30-day notice required by Idaho Code §55-208 and any voluntary cash-for-keys payment a landlord chooses to offer. Federal Uniform Relocation Act benefits may apply for federally funded projects, but those are not a Boise-imposed requirement.
No fines apply because no local relocation duty exists; only voluntary contracts or federal URA obligations create enforceable relocation rights.
