Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Iowa

I live in a mobile home park for almost nine years now. My new landlord is saying that we have to install our own water meters or pay $50 more for lot rent every month. I thought our lot rent included water, sewer, garbage, and snow removal. Can she legally do this to us??

I imagine that this could be done when your lease or rental agreement is renewed. If your tenancy is month to month, then it could come up at nearly any time. The landlord is entitled to change the terms and conditions of any rental agreement or lease when it comes up for renewal.

Your remedy there would be to move out.
