HF 481 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to rent increases in manufactured home communities and mobile home parks.

This bill limits rent increases in mobile home parks and manufactured home communities to once per calendar year, requiring landlords to provide tenants with 90 days' written notice before any increase. Landlords may only raise rent more frequently if justified by higher insurance premiums or infrastructure costs paid by tenants. It directly affects tenants in these communities by reducing the frequency of unexpected rent hikes. The law amends existing notice and timing rules to provide greater housing cost predictability.
