Cal. Civ. Code § 32-30-8-10.5
Additional remedies in an action involving synthetic drugs, a controlled substance analog, or a substance represented to be a controlled substance
Operative Text
Sec. 10.5. In addition to the remedies and penalties specified in sections 10, 11, 12, and 13 of this chapter, the court may do any of the following in an action brought under this chapter concerning the sale or solicited sale of a synthetic drug (as defined in IC 35-31.5-2-321), a controlled substance analog (as defined in IC 35-48-1.1-8), or a substance represented to be a controlled substance (as described in IC 35-48-4-4.6): (1) Issue a restraining order against the person subject to IC 32-30-7-9 and IC 32-30-7-13. (2) Issue a preliminary injunction, temporary forfeiture, or closure order pending final decision on a permanent injunction subject to IC 32-30-7-12. (3) Issue an order of abatement subject to IC 32-30-7-22.
Indiana Code § 32-30-8-10.5 expands the remedies available to courts when a legal action involves the sale or solicited sale of synthetic drugs, controlled substance analogs, or substances represented to be controlled substances on a rental property. Beyond the standard penalties already provided elsewhere in the chapter, a court handling such a case may issue restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, temporary forfeitures, closure orders, or abatement orders. These measures can be applied while a case is pending or as part of a final resolution, giving courts broad authority to address drug-related nuisance activity at a property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-30-8-10.5, a property where synthetic drugs, controlled substance analogs, or substances represented as controlled substances are sold or solicited for sale can become subject to court-ordered remedies that go well beyond ordinary fines—including closure orders and abatement orders that could affect the property's operation. Compliant operators generally maintain active oversight of their properties, enforce lease provisions prohibiting illegal activity, and respond promptly to any known drug-related conduct by tenants or visitors. Keeping thorough records of lease terms, notices issued, and corrective actions taken is a practice commonly associated with responsible property management under Indiana nuisance law.

Ind. Code § 32-30-8-10.5 grants courts the authority to issue serious remedies—such as closure or abatement orders—against a property where drug-related sales activity is alleged, which can affect all occupants of that property, not just those accused of wrongdoing. Tenants who believe they are being improperly swept into an action, or whose housing may be affected by a court order under this provision, have the right to participate in legal proceedings and raise relevant defenses. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with Indiana housing and nuisance law can help tenants understand what options may be available to them.
