. :)You want to refer to Iowa Code 562a Uniform Landlord and Tenant LawIn particular, read 562A.12, 562A.29 and 562A.33.I'm not an attorney but your case appears to fall under "abandonment" or "surrender."

Three years after the auction they can surrender their tax certificate and get a tax deed.

Now they own only half of that, meaning that they have to surrender half of the cash flow to Cousin B.3.

However, they include "bad boy" carve-outs that trigger full recourse if the borrower commits certain bad acts like fraud or voluntary bankruptcy filing.Abandonment may constitute default: If the GP abandons or surrenders control of the property during foreclosure, it could be considered an unpermitted transfer that violates the loan agreement and triggers the guarantor's full recourse liability for the unpaid loan balance.

I refuse to surrender!

More housing options, fewer pet surrenders, and a more stable living situation are some of the benefits.

Some companies have an early cash value option that waives the surrender charges inside an IUL.The whole concept of infinite banking is to get to the policy as soon as possible, and leverage the very low interest rates. 

@John Perrings So you’re saying the high surrender rates on WLI are not true?

This is important because it is the legal standard for when a tenant surrenders the premises (with certain exceptions).

Starting the eviction process with a demand will only give you more piece of mind with clear future dates on when you will inevitably get possession back of your property if the tenant does not surrender.
