Iowa landlords Debate New Eviction Law Impact
Lobbyists warn the new law loosens eviction notice rules by allowing certified mail and personal summons with court action after three days. Critics worry due process may be skipped and nonresident tenants could be evicted, while supporters say it speeds cases and targets troublesome tenants. The bill sponsor defends it as a balance and notes potential challenges.
