Idaho Court of Appeals February 2, 1995, 21086 (Wright v. Brady)

PERRY, Judge.

In this case we are asked to decide whether retaliatory eviction may be asserted by a tenant as an affirmative defense in an unlawful detainer action brought by a landlord. We conclude that such a defense may be raised by a tenant in Idaho, and we therefore reverse the magistrate’s order granting summary judgment to the landlord.
