Idaho Security Deposit Itemized Deduction Statement

When an Idaho landlord returns less than the full deposit, § 6-321 requires a signed statement itemizing amounts lawfully retained, the purpose for those amounts and a detailed list of expenditures made from the deposit.

Use the line items to compare the bill with actual work and the deposit arrangement.

For each deduction ask

  • What lease/deposit term authorizes it?
  • What exact condition is claimed?
  • What was actually spent?
  • Is the work tied to normal wear or tenant-caused damage?
  • Was any unused balance returned on time?
Check the lease period and surrender date. Idaho defaults to 21 days but permits an agreed period up to 30 days. Educational information only.
