tenant rights

SB 202, would’ve created a rent escrow system. If landlords aren’t making necessary repairs to essential services, the renter could go to court and pay their rent to a third party.

A handful of bills authored in the Indiana General Assembly to address renters' rights failed to receive hearings by this week’s deadline and will not advance.
