Cal. Civ. Code § 410-38-3-1
Applicability
Operative Text
Sec. 1. (a) This rule applies to the owner of any of the following properties that meet the definition of a contaminated property: (1) Single or multiple family residences. (2) Mobile homes. (3) Hotels or motels. (4) Businesses. (5) Vehicles. (6) Watercraft. (7) Rental storage units. (8) Outbuildings that are readily accessible to children. (b) This rule does not apply to any of the following: (1) Property that is not described in subsection (a). (2) Waste collection containers.
Indiana regulation 410 IAC 38 § 410-38-3-1 defines the scope of the state's contaminated-property rules by specifying which types of properties fall under its requirements and which do not. The rule covers a broad range of property types—including residences, mobile homes, hotels, businesses, vehicles, watercraft, rental storage units, and outbuildings accessible to children—when those properties meet the definition of a 'contaminated property.' Waste collection containers and any property not listed in the covered categories are explicitly excluded from the rule's reach.

Under 410 IAC 38 § 410-38-3-1, owners of residential, commercial, and certain other property types bear responsibility for compliance when their property qualifies as a 'contaminated property' under Indiana's definition. Compliant operators typically begin by determining whether their specific property type appears on the covered list and whether it meets the contamination threshold that triggers the rule's requirements. Owners of rental storage units and outbuildings accessible to children should be aware that these less-obvious property categories are explicitly included in the rule's scope.

Section 410-38-3-1 of Indiana's contaminated-property regulation is relevant to tenants living in or using covered properties—such as single- or multi-family homes, mobile homes, hotels, and rental storage units—that may qualify as contaminated. Tenants who believe a property they occupy meets the definition of a contaminated property may have grounds to raise the owner's obligations under this rule when seeking remediation or addressing habitability concerns. Tenant-rights organizations and Indiana state agencies can help individuals understand what options are generally available when a covered property type is involved.
