Compliance Snapshot (Iowa)
State Requirements
Seller Property Condition Disclosure
Iowa law (Iowa Code §558A) requires sellers of residential real estate (one to four-family dwellings) to deliver a written Property Condition Disclosure to the buyer (or the buyer’s agent) **prior to the buyer making a written offer**. The Iowa Seller Disclosure form, usually the one provided by the Iowa Association of REALTORS®, covers the condition of the major structural and mechanical components, presence of water damage, hazardous conditions (like asbestos or radon – Iowa law specifically requires disclosing known radon test results and if a radon mitigation system is in place), and zoning or legal issues. Certain transfers, like those by estates or foreclosures, are exempt. If a seller fails to provide the required disclosure in a timely manner, the buyer has the right to rescind the contract before closing and may sue for actual damages within one year of closing for nondisclosure of a material fact.
MLS Notices
MLS and Listing Rules
Iowa’s major MLS (the Des Moines Area Association’s MLS, the Northeast Iowa Regional BOR MLS, etc.) require listing brokers to have a written listing agreement. Listings should be entered promptly and comply with the Clear Cooperation Policy. Most Iowa MLSs require at least one photo and complete listing details (including fields like school district which can be important to Iowa buyers). If a seller does not want the listing advertised on the internet or certain sites, the MLS rules typically require the seller’s written instruction to opt out. As elsewhere, fair housing compliance is enforced in MLS remarks (e.g., you cannot say a property is 'ideal for Christians' or 'no disabled persons—second floor unit' or any such language).
Federal Baseline
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure
Federal law (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) requires sellers of homes built before 1978 to disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards and provide buyers with the EPA’s lead hazard information pamphlet. Buyers must also be given a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead paint inspection or waive that right.
Fair Housing Act (No Discriminatory Advertising)
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, sellers (and their agents) must not publish any advertisement for the listing that expresses a discriminatory preference based on protected classes (e.g. race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin). For example, statements such as 'no children' or other exclusions in home listings are unlawful.
