Plain English

Section 910-2-1-2 of 910 IAC 2 establishes the working definitions used throughout Indiana's civil rights housing regulations. It clarifies that references to the 'Director' mean the head of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission (ICRC) or their designee, and that the terms 'handicap' or 'handicapped' are treated as equivalent to 'disabled' or 'disability.' These definitions ensure consistent interpretation of terms across the entire article.

For Property Managers

Under 910 IAC 2 § 910-2-1-2, property owners and managers should be aware that Indiana's fair housing rules use 'handicap' and 'disability' interchangeably, meaning obligations and protections apply equally regardless of which term appears in a given context. Compliance-minded operators familiarize themselves with the ICRC's role, since the Director of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission—or a designated representative—serves as the authority overseeing this article. Understanding these foundational definitions helps ensure that internal policies and communications align with the terminology used in the broader regulatory framework.

For Tenants

Section 910-2-1-2 of 910 IAC 2 establishes that the terms 'handicap' and 'disability' carry the same legal meaning under Indiana's civil rights housing rules, so protections are not diminished based on which word is used in a complaint or proceeding. The Indiana Civil Rights Commission (ICRC) and its Director are identified as the governing authority under this article, making the ICRC a relevant body for tenants who believe their rights have been affected. Tenants seeking to understand how these definitions apply to a situation may consult the ICRC directly or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
