Plain English

Indiana Code § 32-31-9-3 establishes the definition of 'applicable offense' as it is used throughout Chapter 9 of Title 32-31, which governs certain tenant protections related to safety. The term covers three categories of criminal conduct: domestic or family violence crimes, sex offenses, and stalking. This definitional provision does not itself create rights or obligations but sets the scope for other rules within the same chapter that do.

For Property Managers

Under Ind. Code § 32-31-9-3, the term 'applicable offense' is a defined term that triggers specific landlord obligations and tenant rights elsewhere in Chapter 9. Property owners and managers generally familiarize themselves with all three offense categories — domestic or family violence, sex offenses, and stalking — because the chapter's substantive provisions apply whenever a situation involves one of these defined crimes. Operators who understand this definition are better positioned to apply the chapter's requirements consistently across their rental properties.

For Tenants

Ind. Code § 32-31-9-3 defines the types of offenses that can qualify a tenant for protections available under Indiana's Chapter 9 rental provisions, which are specifically designed to address safety-related housing situations. If you or someone in your household has experienced domestic or family violence, a sex offense, or stalking, the broader chapter may provide relevant rights — such as lease-related remedies — that hinge on this definition. Tenant-rights organizations in Indiana can help explain how this definition connects to the substantive protections found in the rest of the chapter.
