A bill for an act relating to property law by modifying provisions related to forcible entry and detainer actions and to landlord and tenant law.

SF 567 modifies Iowa landlord-tenant law to allow electronic mail service for legal notices, requiring explicit written consent from tenants or landlords in a separate rental addendum. It establishes strict conditions: consent must be documented, the correct email must be used, and the party revoking consent bears the burden of proof. The bill also mandates virtual hearings for forcible entry cases (unless requested in person) and creates new procedures to seal court records after certain eviction outcomes, like dismissed cases or paid rent. These changes directly affect tenants and landlords in Iowa rental agreements.
