Description
This case presents three principal issues: (1) Is the Idaho Consumer Protection Act applicable to a prospective real estate transaction where no contract of sale was consummated? (2) May a tenant recover for unjust enrichment resulting from improvements made to leased property by the tenant, with the landlord's knowledge and acquiescence, during a time when the parties were contemplating purchase of the property by the tenant? (3) Does an award of attorney fees under I.C. § 12-121 to a partially prevailing party, prior to the effective date of I.R.C.P. 54(e)(1), constitute an abuse of discretion? The record in this case discloses that in 1976, appellants Glass (herein renters) entered into an oral, month-to-month lease of residential real property in Ada County from cross-appellants Haskin (herein owners). In 1977, the renters executed an earnest money agreement to purchase the property, and the owners executed another earnest money agreement to sell the property, under different terms. Neither party executed the agreement signed by the other. A controversy about a lot line, and its implications under the set-back requirements of a county ordinance, resulted in failure of the parties to consummate a sale contract.
