Cal. Civ. Code § 32-30-8-9
Hearing; service upon owner of property
Operative Text
Sec. 9. (a) Except as otherwise provided under rules adopted by the Indiana supreme court, upon the filing of a complaint initiating an action under this chapter, the court shall schedule a hearing not later than twenty (20) days after the filing date. (b) Service of process must be made upon the owner of the property that is alleged in the notice filed under section 5 of this chapter to be a nuisance at least five (5) days before the hearing. If service cannot be completed in time to give the owner the minimum notice required by this subsection, the court may set a new hearing date.
Indiana Code § 32-30-8-9 establishes the procedural timeline for nuisance-related property hearings in court. Once a complaint is filed under this chapter, the court must schedule a hearing within 20 days of the filing date, subject to Indiana Supreme Court rules. The property owner named in the nuisance notice must receive formal service of process at least five days before the hearing, and if that deadline cannot be met, the court has authority to reschedule the hearing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-30-8-9, property owners named in a nuisance complaint can expect a court hearing to be set on a relatively short timeline — within 20 days of the complaint's filing. Compliant operators generally maintain current contact information and registered agent details so that service of process can be completed promptly and the five-day minimum notice requirement is satisfied. Being aware of this compressed schedule helps property managers ensure they have access to relevant records and representation well in advance of any scheduled hearing.

Ind. Code § 32-30-8-9 establishes that once a nuisance complaint is filed, the court is required to move quickly, scheduling a hearing within 20 days. This provision also ensures that property owners receive formal legal notice at least five days before the hearing, which is a procedural protection built into the process. Tenants or community members involved in nuisance proceedings under this chapter may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand how these hearing timelines affect their participation in the process.
