Idaho Code §§ 55-2701 to 55-2720 § 55-2720
VENUE.
Operative Text
Venue for any action arising under this chapter shall be in the district court of the county in which the floating home marina is located.
Under Idaho Code Title 55, Chapter 27, § 55-2720, any legal dispute arising from the Floating Homes Residency Act must be heard in the district court of the county where the floating home marina is physically situated. This rule fixes the geographic location of litigation, preventing either party from filing in a more distant or convenient court of their choosing. It applies to all actions — whether brought by a marina operator or a floating home resident — that fall under the Act.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 55-2720, marina operators and property managers should be aware that any legal action connected to the Floating Homes Residency Act will be adjudicated in the district court of the county where the marina is located. Compliant operators generally keep records, lease documents, and relevant correspondence organized and accessible in anticipation that any dispute would be resolved locally. Knowing the applicable venue in advance helps operators understand where formal legal proceedings would take place.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 55-2720 of the Floating Homes Residency Act establishes that floating home residents have a defined forum — the district court of the county where their marina is located — for pursuing any legal claims under the Act. This means tenants do not need to travel to a distant county to have their case heard, as the venue is fixed by statute to the marina's location. Residents who believe their rights under the Act have been violated may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Idaho law to understand how this venue rule applies to their circumstances.
