Idaho Code §§ 55-2701 to 55-2720 § 55-2715
RETALIATORY CONDUCT BY LANDLORD PROHIBITED.
Operative Text
The landlord shall not terminate a tenancy, refuse to renew a tenancy, increase rent or decrease service he normally supplies, or threaten to bring an action for repossession of a floating home site as retaliation against the tenant because the tenant has: (1) Complained in good faith about a violation of a building, safety or health code or regulation pertaining to a floating home marina to the governmental agency responsible for enforcing the code or regulation. (2) Complained to the landlord concerning the maintenance or condition of the marina, rent charged, or rules and regulations. (3) Organized, became a member of or served as an official in a homeowner’s association, or similar organization, at a local, regional, state or national level. (4) Retained counsel or an agent to represent his interests.
Idaho Code Title 55 ch. 27 § 55-2715 prohibits landlords of floating home marinas from taking adverse actions against tenants in response to protected activities. Specifically, a landlord may not terminate or refuse to renew a tenancy, raise rent, reduce services, or threaten eviction because a tenant complained to authorities or to the landlord, joined a homeowners' association, or hired legal representation. The rule applies regardless of whether the tenant's complaint ultimately proves valid, so long as it was made in good faith.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 55-2715 of Idaho's Floating Homes Residency Act, compliant marina operators are careful to ensure that any rent increases, service changes, or tenancy decisions are grounded in legitimate, documented business reasons unrelated to a tenant's protected conduct. Operators generally maintain records showing the independent basis for any adverse action taken around the same time a tenant files a complaint, joins an association, or retains counsel. Keeping clear documentation helps demonstrate that decisions were not retaliatory in nature.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 55-2715 of Idaho's Floating Homes Residency Act gives floating home tenants the right to complain to government agencies or to their landlord, participate in homeowners' associations, and hire legal representation without facing retaliation such as eviction, rent increases, or reduced services. If a tenant believes a landlord has taken an adverse action in response to one of these protected activities, that belief may form the basis of a complaint to the relevant governmental agency or a defense in any eviction proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what options may be available under this provision.
