Attorney: Iowa Supreme Court ruling further defines landlord-tenant rules
IOWA CITY — A recent Iowa Supreme Court ruling involving Iowa City housing giant Apartments Downtown marks Iowa Tenants’ Project’s latest victory, an attorney with the project said.
Christopher Warnock, attorney with Iowa Tenants’ Project in Iowa City, said the Friday ruling reaffirmed the illegality of automatic carpet cleaning fees for tenants and found the landlord liable for an instance of third-party vandalism.
As with previous Iowa Tenants’ Project cases, Warnock said the ruling better defines the landlord-tenant relationship in Iowa.
“What the Supreme Court has done is put its seal of approval on the work we’ve done at the Iowa Tenants’ Project,” Warnock said. “It’s a big win for the Iowa Tenants’ Project and what it has done is, the Supreme Court has turned its attention to landlords and tenants.”
