A bill for an act relating to property law, including rent, rental agreements, notice requirements, and possession of property.

Summary

The bill updates Iowa’s property statutes by defining rent to include utilities, late fees and other charges, and by allowing landlords and tenants to serve required notices by email when both have signed an addendum. It also makes prohibited lease clauses unenforceable, limits landlord entry to mobile homes, streamlines eviction court procedures, and adds a process to seal eviction records under certain conditions. The changes would affect landlords, tenants, and the state courts.
