2021Allen Invs., Inc., 956 N.W.2d 489 , 491–92 (Iowa 2021) (resorting to context-specific analysis when “landlord” was statutorily defined as “the owner, lessor, or sublessor” and it was unclear whether both an owner and lessor could be a landlord at same time); Rivera, 830 N.W.2d at 730 (finding “the context of the savings clause does not require the term ‘claim’ to take on a meaning different from the statutory definition” because there was no ambiguity after applying its intended meaning).

2016In Rivera v. Woodward Resource Center, the Iowa Supreme Court identified the three requirements that must be met before section 669.13’s savings clause will extend the statute of limitations: “(I) a timely ‘claim’ must be made or filed, (2) the claim must be made under a law of this state other than under chapter 669, and (3) an agency or court must make a determination that chapter 669 is the exclusive remedy for the claim.” [ 830 N.W.2d 724, 729 (Iowa 2013).] Plaintiff has failed to persuade the court that the savings clause of 614.10 applies to actions under chapter 669 despite section 669.
