Iowa does have Landlord/Tenant (rentals) laws, I believe you are not informed about them as you should be, as a landlord. The ' Warranty of Habitability' is implied in every lease for rental property, just because it's not spelled out in detail does not mean it does not exist. When a landlord rents a property, he implies that it meets health codes, building codes, sanitation codes, zoning codes, plumbing codes, Fire codes, Ventilation codes, electrical codes, etc. That is what 'Implied Warranty of Habitability' means. It is enforceable under law in Iowa as in other States. The 'Habitability Checklist' should be used as a guide to avoid problems. If you decide it has no meaning, that just makes you an uneducated landlord, and that reflects on all of us. I'm also sure that savvy landlords will utilize the list to their benefit and in turn, benefit with better properties.
