We talk about the Davenport address, who lives there, the lease and rent, access, the house’s condition and repairs, deposit records, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know; you do not have to solve the tenancy before calling.

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or require the tenant to move. Keep the lease, occupancy details, deposit records, and tenant notices together; the sale and any plan for possession are separate questions.
Unless you and the buyer agree otherwise, after a good-faith sale you are relieved of lease obligations for events occurring after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. The sale alone does not end the lease or set a move-out date.
Within a reasonable time after your interest ends, you or your agent must either transfer each deposit, less lawful deductions, to the buyer and notify the tenant in writing of the transfer and the buyer's name and address, or return the deposit, less lawful deductions, to the tenant. Either choice ends your deposit liability.
If the tenant does not object within 20 days after written notice of the amount transferred, the buyer's duty to return the deposit is limited to that amount. The transfer notice must include a stamped envelope addressed to the buyer. The buyer takes over the rights and obligations for the transferred deposit.
Iowa Code §562A.13 addresses the landlord's contact information for tenants. Keep any updated contact details with the lease and sale records.
