An Idaho rental application is a document used by a landlord to evaluate a prospective tenant’s suitability. The application gathers such data as a person’s credit history, income, and liabilities. This information help a landlord to select a tenant he or she believes will be able and likely to pay rent on time.

Maximum Application Fee ($) 

• No statute

While in the State of Idaho there is no limit to how much the landlord may charge the tenant for the rental application, the rules can vary by jurisdiction. The City of Boise capped rental application fees at $30 in 2020; the State legislature has yet to decide on a bill seeking to override local ordinances that regulate fees.
