45-1603. RIGHT OF RESCISSION OF CONTRACT. (1) In addition to any other legal right to cancel or rescind a contract, any person whose property is in foreclosure as described in section 45-1505, Idaho Code, has the right to cancel or rescind any and all contracts or agreements relating to such property entered into during the foreclosure period within five (5) business days of entering into such contract or agreement. Neither funds nor an interest in the property shall be transferred or transferable until the five (5) days have passed.
(2) Cancellation occurs when such person gives written notice of cancellation to all other parties to the contract. Notice of cancellation need not take any particular form and, however expressed, is effective if it indicates the intention not to be bound by the contract.
(3) Notice of cancellation, if given by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with postage prepaid. Notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the address specified in the contract or agreement, shall be conclusive proof of notice of service.
