PROPERTY RIGHTS – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding a limited alternative remedy to remove unauthorized persons from residential real property, to provide for the crime of making false statements to detain real property, and to provide for the crime of fraudulent sale or lease of residential real property.
Idaho's H 321 establishes a new, streamlined process for residential property owners to remove unauthorized occupants without court involvement. It allows owners or their agents to request sheriff-led removal if occupants entered unlawfully, weren't tenants or family members, and the owner previously demanded they leave. The bill also creates two new crimes: making false statements to detain property and fraudulent sale/lease of residential property. Owners must submit a verified complaint with specific details, and sheriffs must serve a "notice to vacate" immediately. Owners can be held liable for false claims through civil lawsuits, ensuring accountability.
