HF 689 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to landlords and tenants, including the source of income tenants use for rent payments.

HF 689 prohibits landlords in Iowa from discriminating against tenants based on their source of income. It defines "source of income" to include housing vouchers, public benefits, social security, veterans' benefits, and other approved assistance programs. Landlords cannot deny tenancy, charge different fees, or restrict access to housing because a tenant uses these income sources, including housing choice vouchers or rental assistance. The law applies to both standard rental units and mobile home spaces, ensuring equal access for tenants relying on federally or state-supported income programs.
