DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) – Iowa is the first in the nation to let a pandemic-era eviction requirement expire, the Des Moines Register reports. The requirement said landlords had to provide people 30 days notice before eviction. It was part of the federal CARES Act, first passed in March 2020.
According to court documents, the state Supreme Court ruled last week the requirement was only temporary and no longer in effect. It comes after district judges previously rejected eviction proceedings from a Cedar Rapids Apartment complex called Retreat on 6th.
