Iowa SF2438 modifies city utility regulations to require landlords to be notified when tenants are delinquent on utility payments.

Iowa SF2438 amends city utility regulations to require landlords to be notified when tenants are 60 days delinquent on utility payments, and at least 10 days before the utility is disconnected. The bill eliminates the requirement for landlords to make a written request for such notice. It also allows for online or electronic forms of written notice. The property remains exempt from liens for delinquent utility charges if the landlord notifies the utility that the property is a rental and the tenant is liable for the charges.
