Cal. Civ. Code § 22-9.5-11-3
Sec. 3. A person may file an appeal under this
chapter only after exhausting all administrative remedies available
within the agency whose action is being appealed.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Indiana Code § 22-9.5-11-3 establishes a procedural prerequisite for appealing a housing-related agency decision: before a person can bring a formal appeal under this chapter, they must first work through every administrative remedy the agency itself offers. Only after those internal processes have been fully completed does the right to file an appeal under this chapter become available. This rule is a standard 'exhaustion' requirement common in administrative law.

For Property Managers

Under Ind. Code § 22-9.5-11-3, property owners or managers who wish to challenge an agency action through a formal appeal must first complete all internal complaint, review, or hearing procedures that the agency makes available. Compliant operators typically document each step of the administrative process carefully, preserving records of submissions, responses, and decisions at every stage. Skipping or bypassing any available internal remedy before filing an appeal could result in the appeal being dismissed on procedural grounds.

For Tenants

Ind. Code § 22-9.5-11-3 means that tenants who believe an agency has acted improperly generally must pursue every internal review or grievance option the agency provides before they can file a formal appeal under this chapter. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify what administrative remedies a particular agency offers and what steps are required to satisfy the exhaustion requirement. Understanding this procedural rule is important because failing to complete all available internal steps may affect a person's ability to proceed with an appeal.
