Compare the deposit with the monthly rent

For rentals covered by Iowa Code chapter 562A, the security deposit cannot exceed two months’ rent. Ask for a written breakdown of rent, the security deposit and any other charges before paying. Keep proof of payment and provide a mailing address or delivery instructions when the tenancy ends.
