Iowa HOA & Community Rules Addendum

This HOA & Community Rules Addendum is built with Iowa as the governing state. These are the Iowa landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Iowa rules at a glance

Iowa rules for an HOA & Community Rules Addendum
Nonpayment eviction notice	3 days’ written notice to payIowa Code §562A.27(2)
Nonpayment of rent	The landlord gives written notice that the lease will end unless rent is paid within 3 days (§562A.27(2)).
Lease violations	A material noncompliance gets a 7-day notice to cure; a repeat of the same breach within six months can be terminated on 7 days’ notice without another chance to cure (§562A.27(1)).
Landlord entry	24 hours’ notice, at reasonable timesIowa Code §562A.19(3)

Landlord entry & access

An Iowa landlord must give at least 24 hours’ notice of the intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times, except in an emergency or where notice is impracticable (§562A.19(3)). The tenant, in turn, can’t unreasonably refuse entry to inspect, repair, or show the unit.

The landlord may not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant. An unlawful or harassing entry lets the tenant seek an injunction or end the lease and recover actual damages of not less than one month’s rent, plus attorney fees (§562A.35(2)).

Ending an Iowa tenancy

Periodic tenancies end with written notice timed to the rental period. For a lease longer than month-to-month, either side must give 30 days’ written notice before the end of the term (§562A.34(3)).

Notice to end an Iowa tenancy (§562A.34)
Week-to-week	10 days before the termination date
Month-to-month	30 days before the periodic rental date
Term longer than month-to-month	30 days before the end of the term

Nonpayment of rent — The landlord gives written notice that the lease will end unless rent is paid within 3 days (§562A.27(2)).
Lease violations — A material noncompliance gets a 7-day notice to cure; a repeat of the same breach within six months can be terminated on 7 days’ notice without another chance to cure (§562A.27(1)).
Clear and present danger — For assault, illegal weapon use, or illegal drug possession on the premises, a single 3-day notice to quit is enough (§562A.27A).
Serving notice — Iowa lists the approved methods — hand delivery, posting on the main entry door with the date posted, or mailing by both regular and certified mail, among others (§562A.8).
Military — An active-duty servicemember with qualifying orders may terminate under the federal SCRA (50 U.S.C. §3955).
