Cal. Civ. Code § 36-1-24-3
"Owner occupied short term rental property"
Operative Text
Sec. 3. As used in this chapter, "owner occupied short term rental property" means property that is the owner's primary residence and is offered to the public as a short term rental.
Indiana Code § 36-1-24-3 establishes a specific legal definition used throughout Chapter 24: an 'owner occupied short term rental property' is a property that simultaneously serves as the owner's primary residence and is made available to the public as a short term rental. This definition sets the boundary for which properties fall under the rules of this chapter, distinguishing them from investment or non-primary-residence short term rentals. The definition itself does not impose obligations or restrictions — it simply clarifies the category of property the chapter's other provisions address.

Under Ind. Code § 36-1-24-3, a property qualifies as an 'owner occupied short term rental property' only when it is both the operator's primary residence and offered to the public as a short term rental. Landlords and hosts who list a property that is not their primary home would generally fall outside this definition and may be subject to different regulatory treatment under Indiana law. Operators who believe their property meets this definition typically document their primary residency status to support compliance with the broader requirements of Chapter 24.

Ind. Code § 36-1-24-3 defines the type of property — one that is the owner's primary home and also rented out short term — that triggers the specific protections and rules found elsewhere in Chapter 24. Guests or tenants staying in a short term rental may find it relevant to understand whether the property meets this definition, as that classification can affect which chapter provisions apply to their stay. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Indiana short term rental law can help individuals understand how this definition interacts with other rules in the chapter.
