Cal. Civ. Code § 32-31-4-1
"Exempt property" defined
Operative Text
Sec. 1. As used in this chapter, "exempt property" means personal property that is any of the following: (1) Medically necessary for an individual. (2) Used by a tenant for the tenant's trade or business. (3) Any of the following, as necessary for the tenant or a member of the tenant's household: (A) A week's supply of seasonably necessary clothing. (B) Blankets. (C) Items necessary for the care and schooling of a minor child.
Indiana Code § 32-31-4-1 defines a category of personal property called 'exempt property' within the context of landlord-tenant law. This definition covers items that are medically necessary for an individual, property used in a tenant's trade or business, and certain household essentials such as a week's worth of seasonably appropriate clothing, blankets, and items needed for a minor child's care and schooling. The designation of property as 'exempt' signals that such items receive special treatment under the broader chapter in which this definition appears.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-31-4-1, property owners and managers should be aware that certain categories of a tenant's personal property are classified as 'exempt property' and are afforded legal protections within this chapter. Compliant operators generally take care to identify and distinguish exempt items—such as medical equipment, trade tools, basic clothing, blankets, and children's educational materials—from non-exempt property when any action involving a tenant's belongings is contemplated. Familiarity with this definition helps operators avoid actions that could be challenged as improper interference with protected personal property.
