Hi, all. My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Iowa. I was a tenant of a property in Iowa City, IA until Thursday, July 30th of this year. Iowa law (562A.12) requires landlords to return security deposits within 30 days of lease end, or submit written reasoning as to why it will not be returned within the 30 days. Today marks the 30 day mark and we have received absolutely zero contact from our landlords since the end of our lease. Where do I go from here? This question may be silly, but i'm going to ask it to get clarification. I read on a website that if landlords violate this law, tenants are able to receive 100% of their deposit back, because the law was violated. The website did not have any reason for me to believe that they were a reputable website, and I doubt this is true. I am asking, though, just to get a sure answer. What are my options? Thank you!
