CRIME FREE LEASE ADDENDUM
This Addendum is part of the Rental Agreement (the “Lease”) dated ______________ between the undersigned
parties with reference to the property located at: __________________________________________________.
In consideration of the execution or renewal of the Lease, the parties agree as follows:
1. Tenant, any members of Tenant’s household, or a guest or other person under Tenant’s control shall
not engage in criminal activity, including drug-related criminal activity, on or near the rental premises.
2. “Criminal activity means acts of violence or threats of violence, including but not limited to the unlawful
discharge of firearms, prostitution, gambling, criminal street gang activity, intimidation, assault, or other
criminal activity on or within 250 feet of the rental premises that jeopardizes the health, safety or welfare
of the landlord, its agents, tenants or others. “Drug-related criminal activity” means the illegal
manufacture, sale, distribution, purchase, use or possession with intent to manufacture, sell, distribute,
or use a controlled substance as defined under local, Iowa or federal law, or the possession of drug
paraphernalia.
3. Tenant, any member of Tenant’s household, or a guest or other person under Tenant’s control shall not
engage in any act intended to facilitate criminal activity, including drug-related criminal activity, on or
near the rental premises.
4. Tenant, any members of Tenant’s household, or a guest or other person under Tenant’s control, will not
permit the rental premises to be used for or to facilitate criminal activity, including drug-related criminal
activity, regardless of whether such activity is done by a member of the household or a guest.
5. Tenant or members of the household will not engage in the manufacture, sale or distribution of criminal
drugs at any locations, whether on or near the rental premises or otherwise.
6. VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE PROVISIONS SHALL BE A MATERIAL VIOLATION OF THE
LEASE AND GOOD CAUSE FOR TERMINATION OF TENANCY. A single violation of any of the
provisions of this Addendum shall be deemed a material non-compliance with the Lease. However, city
code granting housing protection to victims of domestic violence shall have precedence over this
Addendum to the extent applicable.
7. In case of conflict between the provisions of this Addendum and any other provisions of the Lease, the
provisions of this Addendum shall govern. The provisions of this Addendum are in addition to all other
terms of the lease and are not intended to limit or replace other provisions or remedies.
