Plain English

Indiana Code § 22-9.5-2-5 establishes the official meaning of the term "conciliation" as used in Indiana's fair housing law. Under this definition, conciliation is a structured but informal negotiation process that brings together the person who filed or is affected by a complaint, the party accused of a violation, and the commission, with the goal of resolving the issues raised. It is a defined step in the complaint-handling process, not a formal adjudication or court proceeding.

For Property Managers

Under Ind. Code § 22-9.5-2-5, when a fair housing complaint is filed, the commission may initiate a conciliation process as part of its investigation. Operators who participate in good faith engage in informal negotiations alongside the complainant and the commission to explore resolution of the issues raised. Understanding that conciliation is a defined, commission-involved process helps property managers recognize what participation in this stage of a complaint generally entails.

For Tenants

Ind. Code § 22-9.5-2-5 defines conciliation as a key step in Indiana's fair housing complaint process, giving affected individuals a formal avenue for informal resolution alongside the respondent and the commission. If a complaint is filed, this provision means the commission may facilitate negotiations aimed at resolving the dispute without a full formal hearing. Those who believe their fair housing rights have been violated may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to better understand how the conciliation process could apply to their situation.
