What Happened: After warning that its business was struggling, a restaurant tenant paid only half the rent on June 1. Two weeks later, it closed the restaurant. When its demands for full rent went unheeded, the landlord changed the locks and re-entered the premises on June 24. Both sides accused the other of lease violations.
Ruling: The Iowa court ruled for the tenant, and the appeals court upheld the decision.
