Idaho
Idaho: statutes read at the official source for people acting for themselves, each with its citation and the date it was read.

If any person shall practice law or hold himself out as qualified to practice law in this state without having been admitted to practice therein by the Supreme Court
Idaho Code § 3-104 · legislature.idaho.gov · read 2026-08-20 · official source
Renting and landlord-tenant
No landlord-tenant provision has been read at Idaho’s own code yet, so none is shown. An empty section here means nobody checked, never no law exists.
Small claims
The court that hears these in Idaho is the Small Claims Department of the Magistrate's Division of the district court.
$15,000
Same $15,000 cap applies to recovery of money and to recovery of personal property. The department may NOT award punitive damages or damages for pain or suffering.
In every magistrate's division of the district court of this state, the district court may create and organize a "Small Claims Department of the Magistrate's Division," which shall have jurisdiction in cases for the recovery of money where the amount of each claim does not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), and in cases for the recovery of personal property where the value of the property does not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000); provided however, that the small claims department shall not award punitive damages or damages for pain or suffering in any proceeding.
