Indianapolis Tenants Rights Ordinance Launches July 1
So, if four months of eviction moratoriums has not challenged you as an Indianapolis property owner, the city is dropping a new hurdle for you July 1, 2020.
What does the new Tenants Rights Ordinance mean for tenants and landlords? It means a lot and we have it covered for our clients in a new post on our website.
We sat down with our landlord attorney Kathryn Ransburg for advise and suggestions. This provision will cause owners to have a higher burden than existed before July 1, 2020. In addition to providing tenants signed copies of their notice (WILMOTH has established the procedure to fulfill this obligation) owners will be forced to take more corrective actions to complaints about their properties. Tenants expect that mechanicals work, air conditioning is provided, water leaks are addressed, just to name a few. A Indianapolis rental owner has to have the mindset, and the funding, to provide housing that will not cause a tenant to complain to the DBNS or Health department. Otherwise, the potential fines may far exceed the cost of the improvements or repairs the tenant is requesting.
WILMOTH is prepared to work with our clients to find amicable solutions to complaints. Our goal will be to resolve tenant concerns before they ask a third party for intervention
