Cal. Civ. Code § 22-9-7-1
Applicability of chapter
Operative Text
Sec. 1. This chapter does not apply to a dwelling that is exempt under IC 22-9.5-3 from the requirements of IC 22-9.5.
Indiana Code § 22-9-7-1 establishes a boundary on the reach of its chapter by excluding certain dwellings from coverage. Specifically, any dwelling that qualifies for an exemption under IC 22-9.5-3 from the fair housing requirements of IC 22-9.5 falls entirely outside the scope of this chapter. This means the rules and protections contained in this chapter simply do not apply to those exempt properties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 22-9-7-1, property owners should be aware that the chapter's requirements do not extend to dwellings that are exempt under IC 22-9.5-3 from Indiana's fair housing law (IC 22-9.5). Operators who believe their property may qualify for such an exemption typically review the specific criteria set out in IC 22-9.5-3 to confirm eligibility. Maintaining documentation of any applicable exemption status is a common practice among compliant operators.

Ind. Code § 22-9-7-1 limits the chapter's protections to dwellings that are not exempt under IC 22-9.5-3, so tenants should be aware that the type of dwelling they occupy may affect whether this chapter's rules apply to their situation. Tenants who are uncertain whether their home qualifies as an exempt dwelling under IC 22-9.5-3 may find it helpful to review Indiana's fair housing statutes or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for general information. If a tenant believes this chapter's protections should apply to their dwelling, raising the applicability question with a housing agency or legal aid organization is one general path available.
