Notwithstanding section 657A.10, it shall be unlawful, and a receiver may be held liable for actual damages as determined by a court, for entering a residential property that is not abandoned for the purpose of forcing, intimidating, harassing, or coercing a lawful occupant of the property to vacate in order to render the property vacant and abandoned, and it shall be unlawful to otherwise force, intimidate, harass, or coerce a lawful occupant of a residential property to vacate so the property may be deemed vacant and abandoned. A receiver who peacefully enters a property for the purpose of rendering the property vacant and abandoned shall be immune from liability if the receiver makes a good-faith effort to comply with this chapter and all terms of any applicable mortgage, lease, or other agreement related to the occupancy of the building.
