What Idaho requires
- Deadline
- 21 days after the tenant surrenders the premises unless the agreement fixes a longer time, and 30 days at most.
- Delivery
- The statute names no method; mail or hand-deliver the signed statement to the tenant's last known address.
- If it is late
- The tenant may sue after three days' written notice, and the prevailing party recovers attorney's fees.
- Documentation
- A signed statement itemizing what was retained, why, and a detailed list of expenditures made from the deposit.
- Also
- A property manager holding deposits for an owner keeps them in a separate account at a federally insured institution, apart from its operating account (not owners, real estate licensees or nonprofits).
- Statute
- Idaho Code §§ 6-320, 6-321, 6-324
What goes on the statement
The deposit and the date it was received, each deduction with a specific description and amount, the total withheld, and the refund or balance owed. Idaho landlords also record how and when the statement was sent, because the deadline is measured to that date. Damage lines should say what was damaged and how, not just a room name: a tenant, and a judge, can tell a burn mark from carpet wear.
Interest, a separate deposit account, receipts, photographs and a sworn attestation are only required in some states. The generator shows the fields Idaho needs and leaves out the ones it does not.
