As discussed in our December blog post, Congress recently extended the September 4 CDC Order, which temporarily halts certain residential nonpayment evictions, through January 31, 2021.
As anticipated, this afternoon, the Iowa Supreme Court issued a Supervisory Order regarding implementation of the extended CDC Order by Iowa courts. The new Supervisory Order makes no changes to the Court’s prior October 2 order regarding the CDC Order other than extending the effective date through January 31, 2021.
The Iowa Supreme Court’s supervisory orders generally prevail over the CDC’s non-binding guidance in the state of Iowa. More details are in this October blog post.
Landlords with questions about nonpaying renters or how to proceed in the midst of numerous federal and state programs and guidelines should contact an experienced landlord/tenant attorney to discuss their specific situation.
