Idaho Residential Lease Agreement

A written agreement should be used by any Landlord (who may own the house or residence) wishing to rent residential property to a tenant. Many states consider oral agreements regarding the rental of real property to be invalid and require a written agreement. This type of document which is sometimes called a Residential Lease Agreement or Rental Agreement should be in writing and should be signed by both landlord and tenant. The Lease should set forth all the terms and conditions of the rental to which the parties have agreed. The Lease will also state everyone's responsibilities and rights.

Some states also will require that the landlord and tenant conduct an inspection of the premises to be rented either before the property is occupied by the tenant or before the lease is signed by either party. A joint inspection form is useful to document the inspection and can help avoid problems or misunderstandings at the end of the lease term. Even if a state does not require a joint inspection, it is a good idea to complete one for the protection of both parties.

This Idaho Residential Lease Agreement packet includes everything necessary for a Landlord to enter into a lease with a Tenant, including the Lease, the Inspection Checklist and more.

These are just some of the important provisions included in this Idaho Residential Lease Agreement:

  • Leased Premises and Term of Lease: Describes the property, the location, how it may be used and inspection of Premises;
  • Rent Payments and Fees: States the amount of the rent, the manner and timing of rental payments, and penalties for late payments or insufficient funds;
  • Security Deposit: Sets forth the amount of the security deposit, and conditions for the return of the deposit;
  • Default: Explains the events of default and both physical and financial remedies;
  • Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment: Explains that the tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the premises by fulfilling his or her obligations;
  • Assignment and Subletting: Sets forth the conditions under which, if any, the tenant may assign or sublet the property;
  • Possession of Property, Utilities, Pets and Treatment: Describes when Tenant may take possession of the property, who is responsible for utilities and whether pets are allowed. It also covers maintenance of, damage and alterations to the property;
  • Abandonment and Absences: Sets forth when the property may be considered abandoned or what happens in the even of extended absences by the tenant;
  • Insurance: Sets forth the insurance requirements;

Binding contract Isn't a lease agreement only legal if both sides sign the contract and both sides receive a copy?

    1. Charles W. Field Re: Binding contract A lease can be perfectly legal without anybody signing anything. However, to be enforceable, it must be in writing and signed by both. There is no legal requirement that both sides get a copy.

Sublease Agreement and Improvement Costs A friend has a machine shop. He agreed to sublease a unit in an industrial building for one year beginning Feb. 1st, 02. When he looked at the unit prior to renting it, he asked the lessor if the unit had 3 phase power. The lessor said he'd ask the building's owner and get back to him. He later told my friend the unit did have 3 phase power. My friend just found out the unit has single phase power. He had a couple of big machines moved into the unit and during the move a neighbor (an electrician) looked at the power box and noticed it was single phase. My question is how does he work out who pays for power to be brought into the unit? My friend would not have taken the unit if he was told it was single phase. The sublease agreement is for a machine shop but my friend cannot run any of his machines with single phase. The land owner told my friend's lessor that he'd pay for 1/2 the cost to make the unit 3 phase. Should my friend have his lessor pay the other 1/2? The sublease agreement is for a year and the lessor may take the unit back at the end of the term. My friend doesn't want to spend a lot on a 10 month use period. What would be the best arrangement in this situation? Thank you in advance.

    1. Ken Koenen Re: Sublease Agreement and Improvement Costs Since a) the lessor told him that it was 3 phase, the sublessor acted in reliance of that statement. The lessor should pay the other half.
    2. Wayne Smith Re: Sublease Agreement and Improvement Costs Sounds like the lessor misrepresented, or the owner did, or both. You are now in a tough spot. With only a one year lease, cost is a factor, but having those machines idle is also costly. Best to compare those two costs. You could break away from the lease and move elsewhere to mitigate damages. You have a duty to minimize your damages. The lease is no good as it was procured by fraud - even an innocent misrepresentation is fraud. If your damages are less than $5,000, you might then consider a small claims action to get back some of your losses.

How will small claims court possibly rule Tenant had an oven fire at my rental that was brought to my attention during a move out inspection.The fire department had to knock down the front since no one was home at time time of the fire. The tenant said the fire department told him over the phone that landlord was responsible.I contacted the fire department and requested a report on the incident. The fire chief called me and said the the report would state that they responded to a 911 call and when they arrived there was smoke coming out of the condo, and thet knocked down the door to gain entry and discovered an oven fire.The chief said the dept. would not take any sides in the matter and would list the fire as''undetermined.''The door and door frame were busted yet the tenant paid someone to patch and screw the door and frame back together. The door and frame clearly need to be replaced from the tenants security deposit. if the tent tries to recover in small claims court, what are the possible outcomes? And to add to this story The tentant violated has lease agreement for drug activity.He lived in the unit for approx. 1 year. When he moved in the unit was completely renovated.He was a smoker. I had to repaint to removed smell. Do I have the legal right to remove smell.

answer bubble
    1. David Gibbs Re: How will small claims court possibly rule Unless the oven fire was caused by a malfunction of the oven, then the fire was the tenant's fault (the tenant had to have left something on the stove or in the oven which caused the fire). If the tenant is at fault, the tenant is responsible 100% for repairs and damage caused thereby. If the front door was not properly repaired, then you have the right to repair it correctly. Make sure your repair person can provide you with specific information about why and how the tenant's repairs was deficient. Make sure you have receipts for everything, pictures and as much detail to back up why you are withholding as possible. Removing smell is also a permissible deduction from the deposit, assuming the oven fire was the tenant's fault. Have someone other than you inspect the apartment to verify that the smell is not acceptable - a property manager (if you have one) is a good start. Finally, I wouldn't even bring up the drug activity - its totally irrelevant. If it was an issue, you should have evicted the tenant for the illegal activity when it happened. As for how a Small Claims Court will rule - nobody here can give you a guarantee, nor even odds of your winning, as Small Claims Court is a kangaroo court - its entirely unpredictible because its a court of equity where the strict letter of the law isn't always observed.

Trying to purchase a house with a tenant that won't vacate I have a friend who has signed an agreement on the purchase of a home. A deposit has been provided. A loan is secured. The tenant won't vacate. I implored him to request a copy of the lease agreement. The settlement date can not be set until the tenant vacates. What are the laws surrounding this issue? How can we get the tenant to vacate? Who is responsibile for enforcing the tenant to vacate? The home was on the market for 40 days prior to signing the agreement, so the tenent was aware of a pending sale. My friend entered into this agreement under the pretense of being in the home in less than a months time. He is purchasing this home to reside in. What advice can be given? He is ready to walk away from this agreeement. Thank you.

    1. Bruce Gudin Re: Trying to purchase a house with a tenant that won't vacate tHE OCCUPANT may be given a 2 month notice to Quit to vacate and surrender the premises. If they fail to do so, a summary dispossess action must be commenced to secure repossession of the demised premises. This undertaking is a highly technical procedure and I would not recommend doing so without the assistance of an attorney aptly familiar with the New Jersey Anti-eviction Act found at NJSA 2A:18-61.1. I would be pleased to assist in the situation. Reach me at (973)643-0040 x-104
    2. Walter LeVine Re: Trying to purchase a house with a tenant that won't vacate The responsibility to get the tenant to vacate is that of the owner, if the contract of sale has provided for this - most contracts do. If you have incurred any expenses for the transcation (title work, mortgage fees, etc.), they may be recovered from the owner if the contract is terminated due to the owner's failure to deliver the premises without a tenant by the closing date. Again, the language of the contract controls what damages can be recovered. Walter

Instructions & Checklist

Residential Lease Agreement


This package includes the following items:

(1) Instructions and Checklist for Residential Lease Agreement;

(2) Information about Residential Lease Agreements;

(3) Residential Lease Agreement;

(4) Move-In / Move-Out Inspection Checklist; and

(5) Lead Paint Disclosure


The Landlord must sign the Lease Agreement.


The Tenant(s) must sign the Lease Agreement. If there is more than one adult Tenant, each Tenant should sign the Lease Agreement.


Generally, the Landlord and the Tenant(s) will each retain an original signed Lease Agreement. Therefore, if there is one Landlord and two Tenants, three original leases must be executed (i.e., signed and dated).


If a Lease Agreement contemplates a long rental term, some states require that that Lease Agreement be recorded. Recording a Lease Agreement often also requires notarization. The parties should investigate the circumstances under which a Lease Agreement will need to be recorded, and the requirements of that recording.


Certain states require the Landlord and Tenant(s) to conduct an inspection of the premises to be rented, either before physical occupancy of the property by the Tenant(s) or before the Lease Agreement is signed by either party. Even if a state does not specifically require a joint inspection, it is nonetheless a good idea to conduct one for the protection of both parties. Additional information about the security deposit requirements for each state, and whether an inspection is required prior to funding or returning a security deposit, may be found at the following link: http://www.findlegalforms.com/public/RENT/DEPCHRT.doc


For additional information about specific state laws governing Landlord and Tenant relationships in your state, please click on the following link:

http://www.findlegalforms.com/public/RENT/REGCHART.doc


If the property was built before 1978 (i.e., pre-1978 property), federal law requires that the Landlord and Tenant(s) (and their agents) sign the “Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint.” Federal law requires the Landlord to keep the signed copy of the “Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint” for a minimum of three years as proof of compliance with the rules. A copy of the “Disclosure of Information On Lead-Based Paint and/or Lead-Based Paint Hazards” form is included in this packet.


These forms contain the basic terms and language that should be included in similar lease agreements. The laws in some states require a lessor (i.e., the person who is renting out his property) to make additional written disclosures, including disclosures about the condition of the unit, the building, the neighborhood, the environment and any other known problems. Certain cities and municipalities may have additional disclosure requirements that will need to be included. You should consult with a real estate agent or attorney in your area to determine what additional disclosures, if any, are required in your state or locality. Even if these disclosures are not required by law, a Tenant may still request that they be made, and may negotiate to make them part of his agreement.


Laws vary from time to time and from state to state. These forms are not a substitute for legal advice. These forms should be considered only a starting point, and should not be used or signed before first consulting with an attorney to ensure that they address your particular situation. An attorney should be consulted before negotiating any document with another party.


The purchase and use of these forms is subject to the “Terms and Conditions” detailed at www.findlegalforms.com .



Information

Residential Lease Agreement


Whenever a landlord (who may be the owner of the house or residence) rents property to a tenant, an agreement should be written and signed by both landlord and tenant and should set forth the terms to which the parties have agreed. Such a document is generally called a lease or rental agreement. Many states consider oral agreements regarding the rental of real property to be invalid; these states require a written agreement.


Some states require that the landlord and tenant conduct an inspection of the premises to be rented either before physical occupancy of the property by the tenant or before the lease is signed by either party. A joint inspection form, in which landlord and tenant agree as to the presence and condition of items in the apartment and the apartment itself, is useful to document the inspection and can help avoid problems or misunderstandings at the end of the lease term. Even if a state does not require a joint inspection, it is a good idea to complete one for the protection of both parties: a joint inspection can help the landlord justify any security deposit deductions, if warranted, or can demonstrate that certain property damage predated the tenant’s occupancy.


Most states have specific laws relating to residential leases, primarily directed at protecting tenants from dishonest landlords. In addition, states have detailed laws addressing the amount and maintenance of security deposits. For example, some states require that a security deposit be held in an interest bearing account and that any accrued interest be given to the tenant at the termination of the lease. States also vary in regulating how quickly a landlord must return a security deposit to a tenant (e.g., within 30 days after the termination of the lease). Landlords should be familiar with the laws of their state. The chart at the link below provides detailed information about the rules relating to security deposits for each state, as well as explaining the time lines and other requirements for keeping and or returning a security deposit. See http://www.findlegalforms.com/public/RENT/DEPCHRT.doc


If more than one tenant signs the lease, each tenant may be held responsible for all of the obligations under the lease if the other tenants don’t perform their obligations. In other words, a tenant may be held responsible for the entire rental amount if his co-tenants do not pay their share.


Housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can pose health hazards if not managed properly. Lead exposure is especially harmful to young children and pregnant women. Before renting pre-1978 housing, landlords must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards in the dwelling. Tenants must also receive a federally approved pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention. The Environmental Protection Agency's (the “EPA”) pamphlet entitled “Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home" can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/lead/pyfcameraeng.pdf and at http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/outreach/leapame.pdf. Additional information can also be found on the EPA site at: http://www.epa.gov.
