Alex Butter and Sydney Stodola v. Midwest Property Management IC, LLC, KMB Property Management and Ruby Investments, LLC

Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court affirmed the judgment recognizing four common-law trespasses, awarding the tenants $147 in damages, and denying attorney fees. The court held that the tenants’ conduct impliedly consented to showings for which the landlord gave twenty-four-hour notice, that the damages award had a reasonable evidentiary basis, and that the attorney-fee provision applies only to rental-deposit disputes. No separate opinions were filed.
