LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY

The Landlords of Iowa legislative team’s policy efforts continue to build on a long tradition of thoughtful advocacy, responsible leadership, and a commitment to strengthening Iowa’s housing landscape.

Landlords of Iowa is, at its core, in the people business. We work every day to build and maintain strong relationships with tenants and to provide quality, affordable housing across the state. Like any profession, ours faces ongoing challenges — but we have always viewed those challenges as opportunities to improve, innovate, and support the communities we serve.

Over the years, our organization has played a key role in advancing fair, practical public policy that benefits both housing providers and tenants. When regulations have created barriers to safe and stable housing, we have worked to ensure state law reflects common‑sense solutions. Our approach is simple: when responsible landlords can operate effectively, tenants gain more choices, better housing options, and stronger protections. That win‑win philosophy continues to guide our work.

This year, our legislative team is once again focused on issues that matter to Iowa’s housing providers — from strengthening consumer protections to ensuring fair and consistent local regulations. We remain committed to advocating for policies that support small businesses, encourage investment in housing, and improve the rental experience for all Iowans.

While our team works hard at the Capitol, you remain the profession’s most effective ambassadors. A brief conversation with your local legislator, an invitation to a chapter meeting, or a visit during our annual “Hill Day” can make a meaningful difference. It only takes a second!

As always, feel free to contact us with any questions.
