Cal. Civ. Code § 22-9-6-2
"Housing accommodations" defined
Operative Text
Sec. 2. (a) As used in this chapter, "housing accommodations" means: (1) real property, or part of real property, that is used or occupied, or is intended, arranged, or designed to be used or occupied, as the home residence or sleeping place of at least one (1) person; or (2) single family residence, the occupants of which rent, lease, or furnish for compensation not more than one (1) room of the residence. (b) The term does not include hotels, lodging places, or other places of public accommodations, amusement, or resort of a transient nature.
Indiana Code § 22-9-6-2 establishes what counts as a 'housing accommodation' under Indiana's civil rights chapter governing housing. The definition covers real property—or any portion of it—used or intended to be used as a home, residence, or sleeping place for at least one person, as well as single-family homes where occupants rent out no more than one room for compensation. Hotels, lodging houses, and other transient or public accommodation facilities are explicitly excluded from this definition.

Under Ind. Code § 22-9-6-2, property owners and managers should understand that the fair housing protections in this chapter apply broadly to residential properties, including partial rentals of single-family homes where one room is rented out. Operators of transient facilities such as hotels or resorts fall outside this particular definition, but landlords renting any space intended as a home or sleeping place generally fall within its scope. Compliant operators typically review whether their rental properties meet this definition before determining which fair housing obligations apply to their operations.

Ind. Code § 22-9-6-2 defines the types of housing covered by Indiana's fair housing protections, which is relevant to understanding whether a tenant's living situation qualifies for those protections. Renters in homes, apartments, or even a single rented room within a single-family residence may fall within this definition. Tenants who believe their housing situation is covered and that a violation has occurred can explore options such as contacting a local tenant-rights organization or the Indiana Civil Rights Commission to learn about available complaint processes.
