Housing Services Department does not manage the property for the landlord. A landlord should rely on the Iowa Landlord Tenant Law for information about entering the unit, notices which may need to be given at the tenant, security deposits, etc. The City of Dubuque Housing Services Department offers free advertising for landlords. A weekly list of available properties is compiled and made available to the public for pick up at the office at 1805 Central Avenue. Back to top Back to Home Page Selection of tenants Landlords can screen and select their own tenants according to criteria they would normally use to qualify all tenants.
Housing does conduct criminal history checks.
Landlords must continue to check references and screen their own tenants. Remember the tenant you select will be your tenant. Housing Services staff are available to assist you in screening tenants. Landlords may contact us for tenant history information. If the tenant has been on the program, we will provide you with information about previous rental units, landlords, and tenant history information.
