The Iowa Legislative session in 2024 has wrapped up with both chambers passing the FY25 budget that will go into effect in July, and State Representative Brooke Boden says a possible priority for the legislature is to look into property rights for tenants, something other surrounding states have explored.

“We are seeing a lot of squatters in other states, where the squatters rights need to be reviewed. I think that is something we need to take a deep dive in to make sure we don’t have that happening here in Iowa.”

Boden is up for re-election this fall for House District 21, going unchallenged in the Republican Party primary in June, and against likely challenger Democrat Spencer Waugh, who is also unchallenged in the Democratic Party primary.
