Indiana Code § 32-31-2.9-2 establishes a defined term used throughout Chapter 2.9: the phrase "residential landlord-tenant statute" collectively refers to ten specific Indiana Code chapters (IC 32-31-3 through IC 32-31-11) that govern the residential rental relationship. This is a definitional provision, meaning it does not itself create rights or obligations but instead sets the scope of which laws are covered when Chapter 2.9 references that term. Understanding this definition helps clarify which bodies of law apply whenever Chapter 2.9's rules are invoked.
