It is illegal discrimination to take any of the following actions because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin: Refuse to rent or sell housing. Refuse to negotiate for housing. Otherwise make housing unavailable.
STATE: The Iowa Civil Rights Act (Iowa Code 216) prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, mental disability, physical disability, and familial status (presence of children in the home).
To begin filing a complaint, call 1-800-457-4416 and ask to speak to a Housing Intake staff person for further instruction. The IOCR is a neutral fact-finder. They remain neutral from the moment the complaint is received to the completion of the investigation and a ruling by the judge.
The Complainant must show that there was an adverse action taken against them, such as a refusal to rent or sell housing, differential treatment, differing terms and conditions, harassment, or retaliation.
Iowa landlord guidelines prohibit actions like retaliating against tenants for legitimate complaints or requests for repairs. Landlords must respect the tenants right to privacy, only entering a rented property with notice and legitimate reasons.
