Cal. Civ. Code § 32-31-1-13
Alienees of lessors and lessees; remedies
Operative Text
Sec. 13. An alienee of a lessor or lessee of land has the same legal remedies in relation to the land as the lessor or lessee.
Indiana Code § 32-31-1-13 establishes that when a landlord or tenant transfers their interest in leased land to another party — known as an alienee — that new party steps into the same legal position as the original landlord or tenant. The alienee inherits the same rights to pursue legal remedies related to the property as the person who originally held the lease interest. This rule ensures continuity of legal standing when ownership or tenancy interests change hands.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-31-1-13, a property owner who acquires land through purchase, inheritance, or other transfer generally inherits the same legal remedies against tenants that the original landlord possessed. Compliant operators typically document the transfer of ownership clearly and notify tenants of the change in ownership to establish their standing. Keeping thorough records of the original lease terms and any prior landlord actions helps a new owner demonstrate continuity of rights under this provision.

Ind. Code § 32-31-1-13 means that if a tenant's lease interest is transferred — for example, through an assignment — the person receiving that interest generally holds the same legal remedies against the landlord as the original tenant did. This can be relevant when asserting claims related to habitability, security deposits, or other lease-related matters after a transfer of tenancy. Tenants navigating questions about transferred lease interests may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with Indiana landlord-tenant law.
