Cal. Civ. Code § 32-31-12-6
Other legal remedies
Operative Text
Sec. 6. The provisions for the removal of a squatter under this chapter are in addition to and supplement any other legal remedies available to the property owner, including filing an action for possession or emergency possession under this article.
Indiana Code § 32-31-12-6 clarifies that the squatter-removal procedures established in this chapter do not replace or limit any other legal tools that already exist under Indiana law. A property owner retains access to all other remedies — such as standard eviction actions or emergency possession proceedings — alongside the specific squatter-removal process. This provision is additive in nature, meaning it expands rather than restricts the options available when someone occupies property without authorization.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-31-12-6, property owners and managers are not required to choose between the chapter's squatter-removal process and other legal remedies — both avenues remain open simultaneously. Compliant operators typically document unauthorized occupancy thoroughly so they are positioned to pursue whichever combination of remedies — including actions for possession or emergency possession under the broader article — fits the circumstances. Familiarity with all available options under Indiana law helps operators respond effectively to unauthorized occupancy situations.

Ind. Code § 32-31-12-6 is relevant to anyone occupying a property whose ownership status is in dispute, because it confirms that a property owner may pursue multiple legal avenues at once rather than being limited to a single process. If you believe you have a lawful basis for occupying a property, understanding that a landlord or owner may simultaneously initiate squatter-removal proceedings and separate court actions for possession is important context. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help individuals understand what rights and defenses may be available under Indiana law in these situations.
