An Idaho Termination Lease Letter will satisfy a requirement of the State of Idaho when one party wishes to end a month-to-month property rental agreement. The State of Idaho will require that when either party wishes to terminate such a contract that party must issue a thirty-day notice of the intention to do so. This will help the remaining party avoid the disastrous scenario of not having enough time to find a new home or cover the bills. After all, a property rental contract will drastically impact both a landlord’s and tenant’s finances and home. Both parties would need a minimum of thirty days to replace the other party when such a termination occurs.
Minimum Time-Period – 30 days
Laws – I.C. § 55-208
Generally, it is a wise decision to make sure that one can prove they have given ample notice when terminating a month-to-month lease. Therefore, if the month-to-month does not specifically require that such notices be posted on a property, it would be a wise idea to send it by certified mail making sure it reaches the receiving party at least thirty-one days before the proposed termination date (which shall also be the move-out date). In this way, one has not only satisfied their legal obligations but will also be able to prove they have done so if necessary.
