Cedar Rapids landlords hire attorney over crime free lease rule
A Cedar Rapids landlord group hired an attorney amid a dispute with the city over a new ordinance requiring landlords to register and tenants to sign a crime free lease. Spokeswoman Stephanie Feuss calls the crime free addendum too broad and risks tenants being evicted for guests' acts, potentially clashing with Iowa law. Interm City Manager Allan Thoms says the measure complies with state law and aims to curb crime while remaining open to changes. The group will decide next week whether to pursue a lawsuit.
