A bill for an act relating to the ability of landlords to terminate rental agreements of tenants of mobile home parks and manufactured home communities, and including applicability provisions.

HF 482 restricts landlords in Iowa mobile home parks and manufactured home communities from ending rental agreements solely to reassign a tenant's space to another resident. The bill requires landlords to have a tenant's "material violation" of the rental agreement (such as nonpayment or property damage) as the sole reason for termination, banning terminations intended only to make space available for new tenants. Rental agreements must still provide 90 days' written notice for cancellation by either party, and the law applies only to agreements entered into or renewed after the bill's effective date. This directly affects tenants in mobile home communities by limiting landlord power to evict without cause.
