Davenport apartment collapse exposes failures in Iowa's housing system.

TL;DR Summary
A former resident of the collapsed Davenport apartment, Linnea Hoover, has been denied rental insurance coverage by Geico, which only covers $5,000 of personal expenses. Hoover's claim was denied because the collapse is the fault of the building owner. She has taken her claim to the Iowa Insurance Division, who will evaluate her insurance contract and see if the decision made by Geico was correct.
