Cal. Civ. Code § 32-21-15-4
Immunity
Operative Text
Sec. 4. A person who in good faith: (1) prepares or causes to be prepared; or (2) records or causes to be recorded; a statement or notice under section 2 of this chapter is immune from liability for incorrectly stating that the restrictive covenant is discriminatory.
Indiana Code § 32-21-15-4 establishes a legal immunity for individuals who prepare or record a statement or notice identifying a restrictive covenant as discriminatory. As long as the person acts in good faith, they cannot be held liable even if the statement turns out to be incorrect in characterizing the covenant as discriminatory. This protection applies both to those who personally prepare or record the document and to those who direct others to do so on their behalf.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-21-15-4, property owners and managers who prepare or record good-faith statements identifying discriminatory restrictive covenants in property records are shielded from liability if the characterization later proves to be incorrect. Compliant operators generally document their good-faith basis for identifying a covenant as discriminatory when preparing or filing the required notice under section 2 of this chapter. Maintaining clear records of the reasoning behind such determinations can help demonstrate that the good-faith standard was met.

Ind. Code § 32-21-15-4 is primarily relevant to those preparing or recording notices about discriminatory restrictive covenants, but tenants and prospective buyers benefit from understanding that this immunity encourages property owners to proactively identify and flag such covenants without fear of liability. If a discriminatory restrictive covenant affects a property you are interested in, tenant-rights organizations and fair housing agencies can help explain what disclosures should have been made under section 2 of this chapter. General enforcement paths related to discriminatory covenants may also involve filing a complaint with a fair housing agency or consulting a legal aid organization familiar with Indiana property law.
