Cal. Civ. Code § 16-41-20-8
Service of orders
Operative Text
Sec. 8. An order issued under this chapter shall be served on the tenant and the owner of the dwelling or the owner's rental agent. The order may be served on a person who by contract has assumed the duty of doing the things that the order specifies to be done.
Under Indiana Code § 16-41-20-8, any official order issued under this chapter of Indiana's housing health law must be formally delivered to both the tenant living in the dwelling and the property owner or their rental agent. The law also permits the order to be served on any third party who has contractually taken on responsibility for the specific duties the order requires. This ensures that all parties with a stake in—or obligation to address—the cited conditions receive official notice.

Under Ind. Code § 16-41-20-8, property owners and their rental agents are among the parties who must be formally served when an order is issued under this chapter. Compliant operators typically maintain current contact information on file with relevant authorities and ensure that any property management company or contractor who has assumed duties by contract is also aware of their potential exposure to service of such orders. Owners who delegate maintenance or management responsibilities by contract should understand that those contractors may be served directly when the order relates to duties they have assumed.

Under Ind. Code § 16-41-20-8, tenants are entitled to receive formal service of any order issued under this chapter, meaning they have a right to official notice of any housing-related order affecting their dwelling. Knowing that an order has been issued and served can be important context when navigating a housing complaint or dispute, and tenant-rights organizations can help explain what a received order means in practice. Tenants who believe they should have received an order but did not may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand their options.
