For Property Managers

Under 170 IAC 15 § 170-15-1-10, the regulatory framework applies to relationships where a person rents or leases a dwelling unit. Operators and property managers generally ensure that their rental agreements clearly identify the parties in a landlord-tenant relationship, since this definition determines which individuals fall under the protections and obligations established by the broader regulation. Keeping lease documentation accurate and up to date helps establish who qualifies as a tenant under this standard.

For Tenants

Section 170-15-1-10 defines a tenant as someone who rents or leases a dwelling unit from a landlord, which determines whether a person is entitled to the protections provided elsewhere in 170 IAC 15. If there is a question about whether someone qualifies as a tenant under this definition, that status can be relevant when raising rights or defenses under the regulation. Tenant-rights organizations in Indiana can help individuals understand how this definition applies in various rental arrangements.
