ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û

This case in the Iowa Supreme Court asks whether a city ordinance that mandates rental inspections every five years, irrespective of whether a tenant consents to the inspection and in the absence of individualized probable cause, violates the state constitution. The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û’s State Supreme Court Initiative assisted the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û of Iowa in filing an amicus brief to argue that tenants have a right under the Iowa Constitution to be free from non-consensual searches of their rented homes, absent a showing of individualized probable cause. The case remains pending.
