An Idaho lease agreement is a document that allows a landlord to write a contract with a tenant for the use of property in exchange for rent. The landlord will commonly request to view the tenant’s credentials through a rental application prior to agreeing to any type of agreement. The tenant may be charged a fee for this verification and, upon approval, a lease may be signed between the parties. Before the tenant can take occupancy, the landlord will require payment of the first (1st) month’s rent and the security deposit (if any).
