Statement of Case:
In this case the Plaintiff, Cyndi Collins, alleges Defendant Property Management Professionals, LLC, breached an apartment lease by demanding she pay $500 more in monthly rent than provided in the written lease, refusing to accept rent payments, and taking action to try to evict her from her apartment for non-payment of rent. The court has ruled as a matter of law that Defendant Property Management Professionals, LLC breached the lease agreement with Plaintiff.

Plaintiff is seeking damages arising out of the breach of contract and alleged violations of the Iowa Civil Rights Act.
Defendant Edwin Allen denies all of Plaintiff’s claims and denies she is entitled to any damages. |
