Sorry, but that's not what the law says.

562.4 Tenant at will — notice to terminate.
A person in the possession of real estate, with the assent of the owner, is presumed to be a tenant at will until the contrary is shown, and thirty days’ notice in writing must be served upon either party or a successor of the party before termination of the tenancy. However, if a rent is reserved payable at intervals of less than thirty days, the length of notice need not be greater than the interval.

https://law.justia.com/codes/iowa/2018/title-xiv/chapter-562/section-562.4/
On June 25 you were given 36 days notice that your tenancy terminates on July 31. That's more than required by law. If you aren't out by July 31, then the LL files for eviction in court.

You still had to pay your rent for the month of July. If you did that another pay or quit notice is not necessary.

Is this a case where you paid your last month's rent when you first moved in? That might explain why he refused to accept additional rent for July.

You still have to be out by July 31.
