What is the exact wording of the notice you received? This can help determine your rights and obligations.

In Iowa:
- Landlords must provide at least 30 days' notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy.
- This period starts from the day the notice is given.
It hasn't happened yet We received the notice October 2nd and were supposed to move out by November 1st I am handicapped and it's a hardship to move that quickly I have to have accessible property that we have found available on November 15th but our landlord won't extend our lease until then how can I appeal?
What type of lease agreement do you have with your landlord?

In Iowa, landlords must provide at least 30 days' notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy. This period starts from the day the notice is given.
It's expired. We've been renting months to month and our rent is current.
Have you communicated your situation and requested an extension from your landlord in writing?

- In Iowa, you can request a reasonable accommodation due to your disability under the Fair Housing Act.

Not in writing. He's quite intimidating. What details should we include in the letter.
In your letter, include:

- Your disability and how it affects your ability to move quickly
- The date you found a new accessible property
- A request for a lease extension until then

Remember to keep a copy.
I'm not seeing response. It disappeared.
I apologize for the inconvenience. Could you please clarify what specific legal issue or question you need assistance with?
I am disabled and our landlord sent us a notice of vacate property although we're paying our rent on time we're paying month to month as holdover tenants so they sent the notice but we got it on October 2nd and it's supposed to be 30 days I believe and secondly I have Parkinson's and I need to have property rent a property with a handicap shower and I'm having trouble finding that it's going to take longer to find a rental I can't find something before November 1st
Did you communicate your situation to your landlord and request an extension?

In Iowa, landlords must provide at least 30 days' notice to month-to-month tenants. If you received the notice on October 2nd, you should have until November 1st to vacate.
No. We found a rental available Nov *.
Have you informed your current landlord about your new rental's availability date? In Iowa, communication can sometimes lead to an agreement for a short extension.
If we got the notice on October 2nd why wouldn't we have until November 3rd to move out I thought it was * calendar days
In Iowa, the *-day notice period starts the day after the notice is given. So, if you received the notice on October 2nd, your 30 days would end on November 1st.
I need accessible housing unavailable in my price range until Nov *
Have you considered reaching out to local housing authorities or non-profit organizations for assistance in finding accessible housing within your budget?
Yes. That's what's available Nov *.
