Iowa Early termination (DV/military)

Last reviewed 2026-10-15

Can a tenant break a lease early for domestic violence or military service in Iowa?

Iowa's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (ch. 562A, read in full on 2026-10-15) contains no early-termination right for domestic-violence victims; it only cross-references a separate military-service provision (Iowa Code § 29A.101, not read). The lease and federal SCRA otherwise control.
