Multiple civil rights and family advocacy groups are calling on Iowa to reform policies that would allow the removal of eviction court filings from public records.
Even those filed in error remain in the public record, Arthur said.: State and federal laws prohibit housing discrimination based on things like race or gender. But there are no protections for people named in eviction cases.
The legal filing alone — including those that are decades old and never resulted in an eviction — can be used against people in housing applications, Pete McRoberts, the ACLU of Iowa's policy director, told Axios Wednesday.: Iowa lawmakers in 2021 considered a bill that would automatically seal filings that didn't result in an eviction. Many others would be removed after five years.
