Answer:
Idaho Code § 6-321 reads:
“Amounts deposited by a tenant with a landlord for any purpose other than the payment of rent shall be deemed security deposits. . . .
Refunds shall be made within twenty-one (21) days if no time is fixed by agreement, and in any event, within thirty (30) days after surrender of the premises by the tenant. Any refunds in an amount less than the full amount deposited by the tenant shall be accompanied by a signed statement itemizing the amounts lawfully retained by the landlord, the purpose for the amounts retained, and a detailed list of expenditures made from the deposit.”
