Iowa 30 Day Notice to Terminate Lease

In Iowa, a lease that goes from month to month may be ended by either party. This would be done when one gives the other a thirty day written notice. In Iowa, no specific reason is required to end the lease that runs from month to month. Remember though, that illegal reasons such as those that go against the Fair Housing Act (FHA) rules would not be adequate or permitted motives.
