Steps to Terminate a Farm Lease in Iowa

TERMINATING A FARM LEASE IN IOWA

There is a deadline in the state of Iowa you have to meet in order to successfully give notice to your current tenant that he or she has no ongoing rights for a farm lease next year. This is something you must do to give clear rights to the farmland. If you are wanting to make changes to your farm lease, or if you want to terminate the farm lease, all of this needs to be done by September 1st for the upcoming farming season. Possible changes to the lease could consist of negotiating the rent, changing your tenant, or maybe you would like to sell your farmland and just want to cancel the lease altogether. We have attached a form that you can use to terminate the lease that you have in place with your tenant. If you have any further questions please contact us at info@wmgauction.com.
