Bryan C. Singer, Erika L. Nordyke, Beverly A. Van Dam, Joshua L. Dykstra, 3D Rentals, LLC, And DP Homes, LLC
v.
City of Orange City and Kurt Frederes

Owners and renters of rental units brought an action for declaratory and injunctive relief against a city and its building inspector. They challenged the constitutionality of a city ordinance permitting mandatory, nonconsensual rental home inspections without individualized probable cause. On cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court declared the ordinance unconstitutional under article I, section 8 of the Iowa Constitution and permanently enjoined the city from seeking an administrative warrant to conduct inspections under the current language of the ordinance. The city and building inspector appeal.
