Cal. Civ. Code § 22-9-7-7
"To rent"
Operative Text
Sec. 7. As used in this chapter, "to rent" has the meaning set forth in IC 22-9.5-2-13.
Indiana Code § 22-9-7-7 establishes the definition of the term 'to rent' as it is used throughout this chapter by directing readers to the definition already set out in IC 22-9.5-2-13. Rather than creating a new or independent meaning, the provision anchors the term to an existing statutory definition, ensuring consistent usage across related housing and civil rights statutes. This cross-reference approach means the scope of 'to rent' in this chapter is determined by whatever IC 22-9.5-2-13 specifies.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Indiana Code § 22-9-7-7 should be aware that the term 'to rent' carries a specific statutory meaning drawn from IC 22-9.5-2-13, not simply a colloquial or contractual one. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the incorporated definition to understand which transactions and arrangements fall within the chapter's coverage. Reviewing both provisions together helps ensure that leasing practices are evaluated against the correct legal standard.
