Cal. Civ. Code § 32-31-8.5-3
"Rental premises"
Operative Text
Sec. 3. As used in this chapter, "rental premises" has the meaning set forth in IC 32-31-7-3.
Ind. Code § 32-31-8.5-3 establishes the meaning of the term 'rental premises' for the purposes of Indiana Code chapter 32-31-8.5 by directing readers to the definition already set out in Ind. Code § 32-31-7-3. This cross-reference ensures that the same definition applies consistently across both chapters, so the scope of what counts as 'rental premises' is not independently redefined here. The practical effect is that any property qualifying as rental premises under § 32-31-7-3 carries that same status into the protections and obligations of chapter 32-31-8.5.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Indiana Code chapter 32-31-8.5 should be aware that Ind. Code § 32-31-8.5-3 ties the definition of 'rental premises' directly to Ind. Code § 32-31-7-3, meaning the same properties covered under that earlier chapter are also subject to the rules in chapter 32-31-8.5. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full scope of that cross-referenced definition to understand which of their properties fall within the chapter's requirements. Reviewing both provisions together helps ensure that no covered property is inadvertently overlooked when applying the chapter's obligations.

Under Ind. Code § 32-31-8.5-3, the term 'rental premises' used throughout chapter 32-31-8.5 carries the same meaning defined in Ind. Code § 32-31-7-3, which helps determine whether a particular dwelling falls within the chapter's protections. Tenants who want to understand whether their home qualifies as 'rental premises' for purposes of these rules may find it useful to review both provisions together. Tenant-rights organizations in Indiana can help explain how this cross-referenced definition applies in various rental housing contexts.
