LANDLORDS AND TENANTS -- Amends and adds to existing law to remove a provision regarding coverture and to reorganize a chapter.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The proposed legislation intends to re-organize the landlord-tenant code and only has one substantive change. Landlord-tenantCodeiscurrentlydividedintotwosections, Title55Chapter3andTitle6Chapter3. Important sectionsofcoderegardinglandlordleasetermination,noticerequirementsforrentincreasesorchangesinterms, and limitations on rental fees are spread out in different sections of the Chapter. This bill places all important laws that commonly affect landlords and tenants at the top of Title 55, Chapter 3, breaks out requirements regarding local governments, and places laws regarding leases for life in the same sections. There are no substantive changes to Title 55, Chapter 3. There is one substantive change to Title 6, Chapter 3, the other major section of code which defines landlord-tenant laws, which removes an outdated reference to coverture during a time when women were treated as property. This is the only noted reference to coverture in Idaho Code.
