The Idaho 3-day notice to quit for non-payment is used by a landlord to notify a tenant that they are in default of their rent payment and must pay the overdue rent or vacate the property. Failure to pay rent is one of the most common causes for filing an unlawful detainer action (eviction suit) against a tenant. However, by law, the tenant must be given three (3) days to make their rent payment before the landlord starts the eviction process. If they pay before the three-day notice period has ended, the lease agreement between the parties cannot terminate.
