For Property Managers

Under Ind. Code § 22-9.5-2-3, property owners and managers should be aware that fair housing complaints and enforcement actions may be handled by the Indiana Civil Rights Commission or by a locally designated agency, depending on the jurisdiction where the rental property is located. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with which "Commission" has authority in their area, since that body may receive complaints, conduct investigations, or take other actions under the fair housing law. Knowing the correct agency helps operators understand where official correspondence or notices may originate.

For Tenants

Ind. Code § 22-9.5-2-3 establishes that the body empowered to act on fair housing matters is either the Indiana Civil Rights Commission or a qualifying local agency designated by local ordinance under IC 22-9.5-4-1. Tenants who believe their fair housing rights have been violated may have the option of filing a complaint with whichever "Commission" has jurisdiction in their locality. Tenant-rights organizations can help individuals identify the correct agency and understand the general complaint process available to them.
