STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30294 / S1089
The purpose of this legislation is to bring transparency and clarity to the rental application process for
residential rentals. This legislation clarifies all owners/managers who collect application fees will provide
prospective renters with a written disclosure including the amounts, timing of availability, and criteria for
eligibility associated with rent, fees, and refunds. The legislation also creates a process for prospective renters
to recover a paid application fee if the information in the final lease agreement differs from the information in
the written disclosure.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will have no fiscal impact, since it only adds language to clarify the Idaho landlord-tenant code
for both parties to increase transparency.
