Cal. Civ. Code § 22-9-6-4
Modification of property not required
Operative Text
Sec. 4. This chapter does not require a person renting, leasing, or providing for compensation real property to modify the person's property in any way to provide a higher degree of care for a person with a disability than for a person without a disability.
Indiana Code § 22-9-6-4 establishes a limit on what anti-discrimination rules in this chapter require of rental property owners: the chapter does not obligate them to physically alter or modify their property in order to provide a greater level of care to tenants or occupants with disabilities compared to those without disabilities. The provision carves out a specific boundary, clarifying that the chapter's protections do not extend to mandating structural or physical changes for this purpose. This does not affect any separate obligations that may arise under other state or federal laws, such as the federal Fair Housing Act.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 22-9-6-4, operators of rental or leased properties are not required by this particular chapter to undertake physical modifications to their property solely to provide a higher degree of care to residents with disabilities than to those without. Compliant operators generally stay informed about which obligations do and do not arise under this chapter versus other applicable laws, since separate federal and state frameworks may independently impose accessibility or accommodation requirements. Keeping clear records of what modifications, if any, have been made or requested can support consistent and lawful property management practices.

Ind. Code § 22-9-6-4 defines a specific limit within this chapter: it does not compel landlords to physically modify their property to provide a greater level of care to people with disabilities than to people without. However, this provision does not eliminate all accommodation or accessibility rights that may exist under other laws, such as the federal Fair Housing Act, which has its own standards regarding reasonable modifications and accommodations. Tenants who believe their rights under other applicable laws have not been honored may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization or a fair housing agency for general information about available options.
