Idaho Complaint for Eviction

Using The Idaho Complaint For Eviction Form

This form is a formal Court Complaint that is used to begin court proceedings. It is sent to the Clerk of Court and not to the tenant. Once the Clerk has received the form they will process it and provide the landlord with a date and time for your hearing. Both the landlord or their representative and the tenant will need to attend the court case to decide upon the eviction decision.

Understanding The Form

Landlords must not send this form to the tenant. The Idaho Complaint For Eviction form should only be used after an original Notice has been served to the tenant. This can either be a Notice To Pay Rent or Quit or a Notice To Quit.

Sending The Form And When To Do It

This form cannot be sent to a Clerk of Court before the original notice has been served. Under Idaho state law the landlord is required to allow three days between serving the Notice to Quit and filing the Complaint for Eviction Form.

Providing the right amount of time before sending this form is crucial to achieving your desired results as legally the court will be unable to accept a Complaint for Eviction before the legal notice time has been provided to the tenant.

To sum up, the steps that landlords need to follow:

• Serve the notice to the tenant.
• Wait the necessary number of days, normally 3.
• File a Complaint for Eviction Form with the court system.
• Appear at a scheduled hearing.
• If the decision is for the landlord then a date and time for the eviction will be scheduled.
