EXPLANATION
9
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
10
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
11
This
bill
excludes
equine
boarding
from
the
definition
of
12
farm
tenancy
under
Iowa’s
real
estate
tenant-lessee
law
(Code
13
chapter
562).
Exclusion
from
the
definition
of
farm
tenancy
14
results
in
a
tenancy
at
will
under
which
the
tenancy
can
be
15
terminated
after
a
30-day
notice
by
either
party
to
the
lease
16
agreement
(Code
section
562.4).
Generally,
all
farm
tenancies
17
terminate
on
March
1,
at
the
end
of
the
farm
tenant’s
crop
18
year.
However,
in
order
to
effectuate
the
termination
one
19
party
to
the
lease
must
have
given
the
other
party
written
20
notice
of
termination
by
the
previous
September
1
(Code
21
sections
562.5
through
562.7).
Without
such
timely
written
22
notice
of
the
termination,
the
lease
continues
under
its
same
23
terms
and
conditions
until
the
next
September
1.
