     504A.151 Restriction on automatic renewal of lease. 

    (a) In a residential lease, a landlord may not enforce an 
 automatic renewal clause of a lease of an original term of two 
 months or more that renews the lease for a specified additional 
 period of two months or more unless the residential tenant gives 
 notice to the landlord of an intention to quit the property at 
 the expiration of the term due to expire. 

    (b) Paragraph (a) does not apply if the landlord gives the 
 residential tenant written notice directing the residential 
 tenant's attention to the automatic renewal provision of the 
 lease.  The notice must be given between 15 and 30 days prior to 
 the time that the residential tenant is required to furnish 
 notice of an intention to quit and must be served personally or 
 by certified mail.
