1. Except as provided in this chapter, if there is a material noncompliance by the tenant
with the rental agreement, the landlord may deliver a written notice to the tenant specifying
the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate
upon a date not less than thirty days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied
in fourteen days. If there is a noncompliance by the tenant with section 562B.18 materially
affecting health and safety, the landlord may deliver a written notice to the tenant specifying
the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate
upon a date not less than thirty days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied
in fourteen days. However, if the breach is remediable by repair or the payment of damages
or otherwise, and the tenant adequately remedies the breach prior to the date specified in
the notice, the rental agreement will not terminate. If substantially the same act or omission,
