Eviction Notice Legalities Iowa

Summary

In Iowa, landlords must provide a 3-day notice for nonpayment of rent and accept payment during this period to prevent eviction. A 30-day notice is typically for month-to-month tenancies. If you pay within the 3-day cure period, the 30-day notice may still be valid. Consult a local attorney for specific advice.

On May 7th I got a *-day eviction to cure or quit notice. today I am trying to pay my late fee of non payment rent but my landlord says he won't accept it until after I've been kicked out?which will be midnight tonight. To cure or quit means he has to accept my $* for late rent right what grounds do I have to stand on if he doesn't have to take my payment because there's nothing says to terminate lease for anything because there's not at lease
