Cal. Civ. Code § 36-7-9-29
Order of action related to unsafe premise; written information required
Operative Text
Sec. 29. (a) This section applies to a person if: (1) an order is issued to the person under this chapter requiring action related to an unsafe premises: (A) owned by the person and leased to another person; or (B) being purchased by the person under a contract and leased to another person; (2) a hearing on the order was not requested under section 5(b)(6) of this chapter, or, if a hearing was requested, the order was affirmed at the hearing; and (3) either: (A) the order is not being reviewed under section 8 of this chapter; or (B) after review by the circuit or superior court, the court entered a judgment against the person. (b) A person described in subsection (a) must provide to the department (or, in the case of a consolidated city, the enforcement authority) in writing the person's name, street address (excluding a post office box address), and phone number.
Indiana Code § 36-7-9-29 establishes a disclosure requirement that applies once a property owner or contract-purchaser has received an unsafe-premises order under this chapter, has not successfully challenged that order through a hearing or court review, and the property in question is leased to another person. Under those circumstances, the person subject to the order must submit their name, physical street address (not a P.O. box), and phone number to the relevant local department or enforcement authority in writing. The rule is designed to ensure that local authorities have reliable contact information for responsible parties when unsafe conditions at rental properties have been officially identified.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 36-7-9-29, a landlord or contract-purchaser who has received an unchallenged—or unsuccessfully challenged—unsafe-premises order on a leased property is required to provide written contact information to the local enforcement department. Compliant operators generally submit their legal name, a physical street address (a P.O. box does not satisfy the requirement), and a current phone number promptly after the order becomes final. Maintaining accurate and up-to-date contact records with the enforcement authority is a standard practice that supports ongoing compliance with this chapter.

Ind. Code § 36-7-9-29 gives tenants an indirect but meaningful protection: once an unsafe-premises order against a landlord or contract-seller becomes final, that person is legally required to provide their real name, physical address, and phone number to the local enforcement authority. This means tenants and enforcement agencies should have a clearer path to identifying and contacting the responsible party when unsafe conditions have been officially documented. Tenants who believe this disclosure has not been made, or who are dealing with an unsafe-premises order on their rental, may wish to contact the local enforcement department or a tenant-rights organization to understand what information is on file and what remedies may be available.
