Cal. Civ. Code § 32-21-15-3
Form of notice or statement that discriminatory covenant is invalid
Operative Text
Sec. 3. The statement or notice described in section 2 of this chapter shall be in a form substantially consistent with the following: "The chain of title for the real property described herein contains a restrictive covenant that, if enforced, would discriminate against individuals based upon their race, color, sex, religion, familial status, disability, or national origin. The covenant is invalid, unenforceable, and antithetical to American values of equal justice and equality under the law.".
Indiana Code § 32-21-15-3 establishes the required language for a notice or statement that must be used when a property's chain of title contains a discriminatory restrictive covenant. The prescribed text informs anyone reviewing the title that such a covenant—one that would discriminate based on race, color, sex, religion, familial status, disability, or national origin—is legally invalid and unenforceable. The provision does not remove the covenant from the historical record but ensures that a clear, standardized disclaimer accompanies it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-21-15-3, property owners and managers whose title chains contain discriminatory restrictive covenants are expected to include a notice that is 'substantially consistent' with the form set out in the statute. Compliant operators generally ensure this standardized language appears in the appropriate documentation, clearly identifying the covenant as invalid and unenforceable. Reviewing title records and working with a title company or real estate professional can help confirm that any required notice meets the statutory form.

Ind. Code § 32-21-15-3 establishes that when a discriminatory restrictive covenant appears in a property's chain of title, a notice in a specific statutory form must accompany it, declaring the covenant invalid and unenforceable. Tenants and prospective buyers who encounter such covenants in title documents can look to this provision as confirmation that those covenants carry no legal force. Those who believe the required notice has been omitted or that a discriminatory covenant is being improperly relied upon may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service for guidance on available options.
