Landlord Right of Entry

  • Iowa landlords are required to give tenants twenty-four (24) hour notice before entering the premises and must only enter the premises during “reasonable hours.” (§§ 562A.19(3))
  • In emergencies, landlords are allowed to enter the property without first giving notice. (§§ 562A.19(1))
