habitability protected.
Idaho recognizes limited habitability duties but provides no statutory repair-and-deduct or rent-withholding remedy; tenants generally must sue.
What this means for you: Repair remedies are weak; withholding rent risks eviction.
Your next step: Document the defect and notice; consult legal aid about suing for repairs.
