The notice periods Idaho law sets for ending a periodic tenancy, as LeaseCraft read them in the statute, with the conditions and exceptions that go with each. The guided form prepares the notice to vacate with Idaho already selected.
Idaho notice periods
Each period is the one LeaseCraft's record of the statute holds. Read it with the conditions under it: some periods are minimums and some apply unless the lease sets another. "Lease controls" means the record holds no statutory period for that situation, and "No pre-suit notice" means it holds no notice before filing. The source column shows the law and the date LeaseCraft read it on the official site (most recently 2026-09-27).

What the Idaho statute says
Ending a month-to-month tenancy: 30 calendar days
- STATUTE SAYS 'not less than one (1) month' (not 30 days) — a full calendar month is the safe reading; landlord's written notice must specify the removal date (Idaho Code 55-208(1)).
- Tenant likewise must give not less than one month (55-208(2)).
- Notice given 'in the manner' prescribed by the code of civil procedure (i.e., 6-304).
Tenant staying after the lease ends: No pre-suit notice
- Continuing in possession after expiration of the term without the landlord's permission is unlawful detainer with no notice required (6-303(1)).

Preparing the notice
The form asks for the tenancy, the date the tenant must leave and how the notice is delivered, and states the notice period plainly. You enter the period; where LeaseCraft has verified the Idaho period for ending a month-to-month tenancy, it refuses a shorter one.

A notice is not a court order and does not by itself remove a tenant. Cities and counties can add rules. LeaseCraft is not a law firm and this is not legal advice.
