[ ] The repair in plain words, with photos, and the 562A.15(1)(a) duty the landlord meets with it: make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition, or maintain in good and safe working order and condition the supplied electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating or air-conditioning facilities.
[ ] The day the tenant’s written notice of a material noncompliance arrived and the day work begins, because that notice says the rental agreement will terminate if the breach is not remedied in seven days (562A.21(1)).
[ ] The entry plan for the workers or contractors: the landlord gives the tenant at least twenty-four hours’ notice of the landlord’s intent to enter and enters only at reasonable times, except in case of emergency or if it is impracticable to do so (562A.19(3)).
[ ] At move-out, the date the tenant’s mailing address or delivery instructions arrived, and the written statement showing the specific reason for withholding, or the deposit returned, within thirty days (562A.12(3)(a)).
