        562A.8  NOTICE.
         A person "notifies" or "gives" a notice or notification to another
      by taking steps reasonably calculated to inform the other in ordinary
      course whether or not the other actually comes to know of it.  In the
      case of the landlord, notice is received when it comes to the
      landlord's attention or when it is delivered in hand or mailed by
      certified mail or restricted certified mail, as defined in section
      618.15, whether or not the landlord signs a receipt for the notice,
      to the place of business of the landlord through which the rental
      agreement was made or at a place held out by the landlord as the
      place for receipt of the communication or delivered to any individual
      who is designated as an agent of the landlord.  In the case of the
      tenant, notice is received when it comes to the tenant's attention or
      when it is delivered in hand to the tenant or mailed by certified
      mail or restricted certified mail, as defined in section 618.15,
      whether or not the tenant signs a receipt for the notice, to such
      person at the place held out by such person as the place for receipt
      of the communication, or in the absence of such designation, to such
      person's last known place of residence.
         Any notice required under this chapter, except a written notice of
      termination required by section 562A.27, subsection 1 or 2, a notice
      of termination and notice to quit under section 562A.27A, a notice to
      quit as required by section 648.3, or a petition for forcible entry
      and detainer pursuant to chapter 648, shall be deemed legally
      sufficient notice if made by posting at or delivering to the dwelling
      unit.  The date of posting of the notice shall be written on the
      notice.
