Idaho rental lease agreements are contracts which allow a property owner to rent their property to a tenant. The most common type of lease, the standard residential contract is a twelve (12) month agreement that is used by property managers and owners to rent out residential properties. Tenants will often be required to complete a standard background and credit check to ensure that they are able to pay their monthly rent and have positive references in their rental history. Once the verification is complete, both parties can move forward and draft an agreement.
