Rules for Subleasing
Since no statutes regulate sublease agreements in Iowa, the lease terms will determine whether subleasing is allowed. Typically, subleasing is permitted with the landlord’s consent.[1]
- Sublease Requests – Even if the tenant is required to ask for permission to sublease, the landlord cannot decline the request without a valid reason.[2]
