Iowa Code ch. 555C § 555C.6
Rights of real property owner
Operative Text
The rights provided in this chapter to a real property owner are not exclusive of other rights of the real property owner.
Iowa Code ch. 555C § 555C.6 establishes that the rights granted to real property owners under Chapter 555C exist alongside, and do not replace or limit, any other rights those owners may already hold under other laws or legal doctrines. In other words, the protections and entitlements created by this chapter are additive rather than exhaustive. A property owner is not forced to choose between Chapter 555C rights and any other applicable legal rights.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Iowa Code ch. 555C § 555C.6, property owners and managers can rely on the rights established in Chapter 555C without giving up any other legal rights they may have under Iowa law or other applicable statutes. Compliant operators generally document all available legal bases for their claims or actions, recognizing that Chapter 555C is one layer of protection among potentially several. Familiarity with the full range of rights available—beyond just those enumerated in Chapter 555C—can be relevant when navigating disputes or transactions involving real property.

Iowa Code ch. 555C § 555C.6 clarifies that a property owner's rights under Chapter 555C do not crowd out other rights the owner may have, which means tenants should be aware that landlords may assert multiple legal bases in any given situation. Tenants who believe their rights are being affected by actions taken under Chapter 555C can explore whether other state or local tenant-protection laws also apply to their circumstances. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office can help tenants understand the full landscape of rights and obligations that may be relevant under Chapter 555C and beyond.
