Cal. Civ. Code § 32-31-6-5
Court review; emergency hearing
Operative Text
Sec. 5. If a tenant or a landlord petitions the court to issue an order under this chapter, the court shall immediately do the following: (1) Review the petition. (2) Schedule an emergency hearing for not later than three (3) business days after the petition is filed.
Indiana Code § 32-31-6-5 establishes a fast-track judicial process when either a tenant or a landlord files a petition seeking a court order under this chapter. Upon receiving such a petition, the court is required to review it immediately and schedule an emergency hearing within three business days of filing. This provision ensures that disputes covered by this chapter receive prompt judicial attention rather than being placed in a standard, slower court queue.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-31-6-5, a landlord who files a petition for a court order under this chapter can expect the court to act quickly — reviewing the petition right away and setting a hearing date within three business days. Compliant operators generally keep thorough documentation of the underlying issue ready to present at short notice, given how compressed this timeline is. Being prepared to appear and present evidence within that three-business-day window is a practical reality of invoking this provision.

Tenants seeking to understand whether this chapter applies to their situation may benefit from contacting a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general guidance.
