Iowa Code ch. 562B § 562B.9A
Computation of time
Operative Text
The calculation of all time periods required under this chapter shall be made in accordance with section 4.1, subsection 34.
Iowa Code § 562B.9A establishes that any time period referenced in Chapter 562B — which governs manufactured home and mobile home tenancies — must be calculated using the standard rules set out in Iowa Code § 4.1(34). That general computation rule typically addresses how days are counted, including how to handle the first and last day of a period and what happens when a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday. This provision ensures consistency in how deadlines and notice periods are measured throughout the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 562B.9A, landlords managing manufactured or mobile home communities in Iowa must apply the Iowa Code § 4.1(34) counting method whenever a time period arises under Chapter 562B — such as notice periods for rent increases, lease terminations, or entry. Compliant operators generally verify whether a deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday and adjust accordingly, as the referenced computation rule governs such situations. Keeping a clear record of how each deadline was calculated helps demonstrate adherence to the chapter's timing requirements.

Section § 562B.9A means that any deadline or notice period affecting your tenancy under Chapter 562B — including time to respond to a notice or cure a violation — is measured using the standardized rules in Iowa Code § 4.1(34), not a simple calendar count. If a landlord's notice or action appears to be based on an incorrect day count, tenants may be able to raise that timing error as a relevant issue in any dispute or proceeding under the chapter. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Iowa manufactured housing law can help explain how the computation rule applies to specific notice periods.
