Iowa eliminates 30-day eviction notice policy

The decision centers around a rule in the 2020 federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES Act, which requires landlords using some form of federal assistance to give 30 days’ notice to their tenants prior to eviction.

The $2.2 trillion CARES Act was passed to avoid mass evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a 120-day moratorium on all evictions with the 30-day eviction notice requirement.

Those provisions expired, but because the 30-day eviction notice requirement had no official end date, landlords have continued to practice it. While there have been challenges to the statute in other states, none have taken to overrule it, except Iowa.
 
It was for those not paying rent. It is just reverting to the PreCovid law
What was the PreCovid law? I'm a relatively new landlord so I really am interested. Are they saying that if my tenants' rent is due on the 1st and I haven't received rent by the 4th I can give them an eviction notice?

I know nothing of the topic. Does this apply?

"which requires landlords using some form of federal assistance"


Maybe you got some government rehab money or something? Idk.
 
It’s about time Iowa has done something to overturn a wrong and overburdensome regulation forced upon landlords by a heavy handed Trump administration.

Am I doing this right? I’m new at this someone let me know.

If that's the case it wouldn't apply to my situation. Even if I were able to evict someone for being 3+days late on rent, I would still give them a little more time. I was under the impression that 30 days notice was the standard for a month to month from my experience watching The People's Court!

Nope, not doing it right. Trying too hard.
