Iowa Admin. Code r. 161—9 § 161—9.24
Costs of taking deposition.
Operative Text
Costs of taking and proceeding to procure a deposition shall be paid by the commission.
Under Iowa Admin. Code r. 161—9 § 161—9.24, the financial burden of taking a deposition and carrying out the steps necessary to obtain one is placed on the commission rather than on the individual parties. This means that neither the party requesting the deposition nor the party being deposed is responsible for covering those procedural costs. The rule effectively removes a potential financial barrier to the use of depositions in commission proceedings.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Iowa Admin. Code r. 161—9 § 161—9.24 provides that deposition costs in commission proceedings are borne by the commission itself, not by the parties involved. Property owners or managers who participate in such proceedings generally do not need to budget for or advance the costs associated with taking a deposition. Understanding this cost allocation can help operators anticipate the financial scope of participating in a commission proceeding.

Iowa Admin. Code r. 161—9 § 161—9.24 establishes that the commission, not the individual parties, pays the costs of taking and procuring a deposition. This means tenants involved in a commission proceeding are generally not expected to cover those deposition expenses out of pocket. Tenants who want to understand how this rule applies to their participation in a proceeding may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource for general guidance.
