Cal. Civ. Code § 32-31-1-6
Rent; refusal or neglect to pay
Operative Text
Sec. 6. If a tenant refuses or neglects to pay rent when due, a landlord may terminate the lease with not less than ten (10) days notice to the tenant unless: (1) the parties otherwise agreed; or (2) the tenant pays the rent in full before the notice period expires.
Indiana Code § 32-31-1-6 establishes that when a tenant fails to pay rent on time, a landlord has the legal authority to begin the process of ending the tenancy by providing at least ten days' written notice. However, the lease cannot be terminated under this provision if the parties have a separate agreement that sets different terms, or if the tenant pays the full amount owed before the ten-day notice period runs out. This provision effectively gives tenants a short window to cure a missed payment and avoid termination of the lease.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-31-1-6, operators who wish to terminate a tenancy for nonpayment of rent are generally expected to provide the tenant with at least ten days' notice before proceeding. Compliant landlords also honor any lease provisions that modify this default timeline, since the statute expressly defers to agreements the parties have made. If the tenant tenders full payment before the notice period expires, the statutory basis for termination under this section is extinguished, and operators typically document receipt of that payment.

Ind. Code § 32-31-1-6 gives tenants who have missed a rent payment at least ten days after receiving a termination notice to pay the full amount owed and preserve their tenancy. Tenants should be aware that any lease clause addressing notice periods for nonpayment may also affect how this provision applies to their situation. Those who believe a landlord has not followed the notice requirements of this section may find it useful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand available options, including raising the procedural requirements as a defense in any eviction proceeding.
