Cal. Civ. Code § 32-31-7-2
Applicability of definitions
Operative Text
Sec. 2. The definitions in IC 32-31-3 apply throughout this chapter.
Indiana Code § 32-31-7-2 is a definitional cross-reference provision, meaning it does not establish new rights or obligations on its own. Instead, it directs that all defined terms found in IC 32-31-3 carry the same meanings when used anywhere in IC 32-31-7. This ensures consistent interpretation of terminology across the related chapters governing rental agreements and tenant-landlord relations in Indiana.

Under Ind. Code § 32-31-7-2, property owners and managers operating under IC 32-31-7 should be aware that key terms used throughout that chapter draw their meanings from the definitions established in IC 32-31-3. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with those foundational definitions to ensure their practices, notices, and agreements align with the statutory language as it is legally understood. Misreading a defined term can affect how obligations and rights under IC 32-31-7 are applied in practice.
