The Idaho Supreme Court reversed the district court's denial of the landlord's motion to dismiss and vacated the judgment awarding damages to the tenant, holding that the tenant failed to comply with Idaho Code section 6-320's requirement that the landlord be given three days' written notice to cure before suit could be filed, as the alleged breach had already been cured before notice was provided.

# Florer v. Walizada: Court Ruling Summary
## What Happened
Florer filed a lawsuit against landlord Yar Walizada over a contract dispute related to rental property. Florer claimed the landlord broke their agreement and sought money damages.
## What the Court Decided
Idaho's Supreme Court ruled in favor of the landlord. The court found that Florer didn't follow Idaho's required process before suing. State law requires tenants to give landlords three days' written notice to fix any problems before filing a lawsuit. The court determined that the landlord had already fixed the issue before receiving notice, so Florer's lawsuit shouldn't have been filed. The court canceled the previous judgment against the landlord and threw out the case.
## Why This Matters for Workers
While this case involves a landlord-tenant dispute, it reinforces an important principle: **before taking legal action for contract breaches, you must follow proper procedures**. Workers with employment contracts should understand that courts expect you to give employers notice and a chance to fix problems before filing suit. Skipping required steps can result in your case being dismissed, even if you believe you have a valid claim.
