A bill for an act relating to eviction procedures, including tenants who pose a clear and present danger, maximum durations for forcible entry and detainer actions, and including applicability provisions.

This bill (SF 2352) modifies Iowa eviction procedures for residential tenants who pose a "clear and present danger" to health or safety. Landlords may now seek immediate removal by a peace officer after a 3-day notice, without a court order, if the officer provides a sworn written affirmation of the danger and no exemptions apply. It also sets a strict 30-day maximum timeline for eviction court cases involving residential property, prohibiting courts from extending this period unless authorized by law. These changes aim to streamline evictions while ensuring tenants can contest termination in court. The bill applies to eviction actions starting July 1, 2026.
