Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Iowa

What are our rights if we gave a guy that lived in our house that we rented to somebody else, we had him sign a paper infront of a notery that in 1 month he would be out . It is now 21/2 months and we can't rent the place because his stuff is still in it. What can we do with it, set it out side on the curb?

What you can do is to rent a storage locker for one month, move his stuff into it, send him the key and tell him you're not interested in providing a constructive bailment to him any more. He's got no right to make you responsible for his property.

That way the problem's not yours any more and you haven't exposed his property to loss or damage.
