Plain English

Indiana Code § 32-31-4-1.5 establishes a specific definition for the term 'storage facility' as it is used within this chapter of Indiana's landlord-tenant law. Under this definition, a storage facility is not just any place where belongings might be kept — it must be a location that a court has specifically approved for holding a tenant's personal property pursuant to the procedures outlined in section 2(e) of the same chapter. This definitional provision shapes how the broader rules in the chapter are applied whenever that term appears.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating under Indiana Code § 32-31-4-1.5 should be aware that not every storage location qualifies as a 'storage facility' under this chapter. A compliant operator generally ensures that any location used to store a tenant's personal property has received explicit court approval as required by section 2(e), rather than selecting a location unilaterally. Keeping documentation of court-approved storage arrangements is a practice commonly associated with compliance in this area.

For Tenants

Indiana Code § 32-31-4-1.5 defines what counts as a lawful 'storage facility' for your personal property under this chapter, and that definition requires court approval of the specific location. If a landlord stores your belongings somewhere that has not been court-approved under section 2(e), that location may not meet the legal definition, which could be relevant to any dispute about how your property was handled. Tenants who believe their property was stored improperly may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Indiana landlord-tenant law.
