24 "Sec. 100. DEFINITION - MILITARY SERVICE. For
25 the purposes of sections 100 through 106, "military

27 defined in section 29A.1, or full-time state active

37 chiefly for dwelling purposes by the spouse, child, or
38 other dependent of a person in military service,
39 except upon leave of court granted upon application or
40 granted in an action or proceeding affecting the right
41 of possession.
42 2. On any such application as provided in
43 subsection 1, or in any such action as provided in
44 subsection 1, the court may, in its discretion, on its
45 own motion, and shall, on application, unless in the
46 opinion of the court the ability of the tenant to pay
47 the agreed rent is not materially affected by reason
48 of such military service, stay the proceedings for not
49 longer than three months. Where such stay is granted
50 or other order is made by the court, the owner of the
Page 2

1 premises shall be entitled, upon application, to
2 relief in respect of such premises similar to that
3 granted persons in military service in sections 102

4 and 103 of this Act to such extent and for such period
5 as may appear to the court to be just.
6 Sec. 102. INSTALLMENT CONTRACTS FOR PURCHASE OF

9 has received, under a contract for the purchase of
10 real or personal property, or of lease or bailment

22 except by action in a court of competent jurisdiction.
23 2. Upon the hearing of such action as provided in
24 subsection 1, the court may order the repayment of
25 prior installments or deposits or any part, as a
26 condition of terminating the contract and resuming
27 possession of the property, or may, in its discretion,
28 on its own motion, and shall, on application to it by
29 such person in military service or some person on the
30 person's behalf, order a stay of proceedings as the
31 court deems just, unless in the opinion of the court,
32 the ability of the defendant to comply with the terms
33 of the contract is not materially affected by reason
34 of such service; or it may make such other disposition
35 of the case as may be equitable to conserve the
36 interests of all parties.
37 Sec. 103. MORTGAGES, TRUST DEEDS, OR OTHER
38 SECURITY.
39 1. The provisions of this section shall apply only
40 to obligations secured by mortgage, trust deed, or
41 other security in the nature of a mortgage upon real

44 military service and still so owned by the person
45 which obligations originated prior to the person's
46 period of military service.
47 2. In any proceeding commenced in any court during
48 the period of military service to enforce such
49 obligation as provided in subsection 1 arising out of
50 nonpayment of any sum due or out of any other breach
Page 3

1 of the terms of the mortgage, trust deed, or other
2 security occurring prior to or during the period of
3 such service the court may, after hearing, in its

4 discretion, on its own motion, and shall, on
5 application to it by such person in military service
6 or some person on the defendant's behalf, unless in
7 the opinion of the court the ability of the defendant
8 to comply with the terms of the obligation is not
9 materially affected by reason of the defendant's
10 military service, do any of the following:
11 a. Stay the proceedings for such period as the
12 court deems just.
13 b. Make such other disposition of the case as may
14 be equitable to conserve the interests of all parties.
15 3. No sale, foreclosure, or seizure of property
16 for nonpayment of any sum due under any such
17 obligation as provided in subsection 1, or for any
18 other breach of the terms thereof, whether under a
19 power of sale, under a judgment entered upon warrant
20 of attorney to confess judgment contained therein, or
21 otherwise, shall be valid if made during the period of
22 military service or within three months thereafter,
23 except pursuant to an agreement between the parties,
24 unless upon an order previously granted by the court
25 and a return thereto made and approved by the court.
26 Sec. 104. TERMINATION OF LEASES BY LESSEES.
27 1. The provisions of this section shall apply to
28 any lease covering premises occupied for dwelling,
29 professional, business, agricultural, or similar
30 purposes in any case in which such lease was executed
31 by or on the behalf of a person who, after the
32 execution of such lease, entered military service.
33 2. Any such lease as provided in subsection 1 may
34 be terminated by notice in writing delivered to the
35 lessor or to the lessor's agent by the lessee at any
36 time following the date of the beginning of the period
37 of military service. Delivery of such notice may be
38 accomplished by placing it in an envelope properly
39 stamped and duly addressed to the lessor or to the
40 lessor's agent and depositing the notice in the United
41 States mail. Termination of any such lease providing
42 for monthly payment of rent shall not be effective
43 until thirty days after the first date on which the
44 next rental payment is due and payable subsequent to
45 the date when such notice is delivered or mailed. In
46 the case of all other leases, termination shall be
47 effected on the last day of the month following the
48 month in which such notice is delivered or mailed and
49 in such case any unpaid rental for a period preceding
50 termination shall be proratably computed and any
Page 4

1 rental paid in advance for a period succeeding
2 termination shall be refunded by the lessor. Upon
3 application by the lessor to the appropriate court

4 prior to the termination period provided for in the
5 notice, any relief granted in this subsection shall be
6 subject to such modifications or restrictions as in
7 the opinion of the court justice and equity may in the
8 circumstances require.
9 Sec. 105. MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST. No obligation
10 or liability bearing interest at a rate in excess of
11 six percent per year incurred by a person in military
12 service before that person's entry into that service
13 shall, during any part of the period of military
14 service, bear interest at a rate in excess of six
15 percent per year unless, in the opinion of the court,
16 upon application thereto by the obligee, the ability
17 of such person in military service to pay interest
18 upon such obligation or liability at a rate in excess
19 of six percent per year is not materially affected by
20 reason of such service, in which case the court may
21 make such order as in its opinion may be just. As
22 used in this section the term "interest" includes
23 service charges, renewal charges, fees, or any other
24 charges, except bona fide insurance, in respect of
25 such obligation or liability.
26 Sec. 106. PROVISIONS APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING
27 CONTRARY CODE PROVISIONS. Sections 100 through 105 of
28 this Act apply notwithstanding any contrary provision
29 of state law, which may include but is not limited to
30 Titles XIII, XIV, and XV.
31 Sec. 107. Sections 100 through 106 of this Act are
