I'm a LL in Ia. You're going to lose money on this , but you need to do things right, or your T could be in your place til after labor day. Do not try to contact your T the rest of this month. He knows rent is due, and has no money to pay it. Wait til June 4, and send your T a 3 day notice to pay rent, or Quit. Send the notice both regular and certified mail, and post the notice on his front door as well. ONLY put down the ACTUAL amount of RENT that is due for JUNE------NOTHING else.

Wait another 8 days for your T to contact you and give you rent. ONLY accept the FULL amount of rent for June, if he offers you any at all. If you get NO rent, then go to your county court house and file an FE+D action for eviction, on or after June 15 or 16. Set up a court date between 8 and 15 days from the date that you filed the FE+D. That FE+D notice MUST then be served on the T by either a Sheriffs deputy, or a private process server. Then you wait. If you have done everything right, have followed all the correct time frames, and have all the correct paperwork, you should win your case, and have the T out by the 4th of July. Do just 1 thing wrong in the judges eyes, and you may have to start all over again.

I don’t know if courts are going to be open for eviction on June if they do I will proceed with 3 days notice on June 3rd . I understand that I can NOT even send a 3 day notice until moratorium ends I also will send a 30 day termination notice by the end of this month because he is a moth to month lease. I will loose money on this.
