Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Iowa
i was living in my residence for over six months with established proof and my landlord told me i had a couple days to get out cuz i wasnt on the lease and the lease holders had moved out even though they never told him i was never served by the sherriff and while i was out of town he contacted me and said that my stuff was in the house so i sent somebody to go get it but they never did and they cannot be contacted now so he threw all my stuff away ... everything i owned including my mothers ashes from when she passed and countless other things that can never be replaced .... is there anything i can do

You can sue him assuming you can document your losses. With respect to your mother's ashes, courts would view what the landlord did with a great deal of disapproval,
