In Iowa, a lease that goes from month to month may be ended by either party. This would be done when one gives the other a thirty day written notice. In Iowa, no specific reason is required to end the lease that runs from month to month.

What Are Tenants' Rights and Responsibilities in Iowa? An Iowa tenant has the legal right to request a habitable unit to live in, make a written notice for repairs, and have due process before an eviction. If the landlord fails to comply with these terms, the tenant can seek legal help.

If rent is not paid when due, the landlord must deliver a "NOTICE TO CURE OR QUIT" (Three-Day Notice form) to the tenant. This notice must state that the rent is due but unpaid, and the landlord intends to terminate the Rental Agreement in three (3) days if the rent is not paid.

7-Day Notice to Cure Other Lease Violations In most cases the landlord must give the tenants a 7-day notice with a right to fix or "cure" the lease violation. For example, a landlord may think the tenants have a dog, and the lease says no pets. The landlord must give the tenants a written notice.

An Iowa month-to-month lease agreement has no end date that allows a landlord to rent to a tenant with the option to terminate the lease, at any time, with 30 days' notice. All other parts of the agreement are the same as a standard form.
