This is an outstanding effort that can also be supplemented by House Bill 1103 regarding Tenants’ Rights – I encourage Rep. Torr to give this bill a hearing and help renters all across Indiana avoid the downward spiral that comes with an unjust eviction.
I’m neither landlord or tenant, but I don’t automatically accept that these “bad actor” (trite expression) landlords are the cause of the great number of evictions in Indianapolis. If tenants pay their rent, landlords would be counterproductive idiots to evict them. With these proposed rules, a tenant just needs to call the hotline and complain the day they move in, then never pay a dime in rent and live there free for a year until the landlord spends a fortune in legal fees and lost rent to finally get their property back. A small time property owner trying to make a living doesn’t stand a chance. Why do renters have more property rights than those who own the property? What happened to renters just moving out when the accommodations don’t suit them? I understand there are abuses on both sides, but imposing socialistic rules over others’ property is not the answer. It just makes politicians try to look better.
Agreed!
I thought the same thing …. until I had to move out due to harassment by other tenants. I gave proper notice and paid my last rent in good faith. The landlord not only kept my deposit , but filed a retaliatory eviction AFTER I had vacated the premises and had house professionally cleaned . Many thousands of dollars later, it’s a major struggle .
The article says ” Indianapolis has the second highest number of evictions in the country, behind only New York,” Well, New York has the most stringent Tenant rights laws, and if it hasn’t worked for New York, what makes one think its going to work here. Just more bureaucracy and big government.
New York has at least 10X larger population . So, for total number of evictions , that’s staggering . Compared on a per capital basis, I think it’d really get our attention . You are correct about their tenants rights, though .
Funneling money to attorneys. Maintaining a bridge to from government to the legal profession. It will be abused.
I believe it’s the Legal Aid Society. They are pro bono. Wish I’d called them.
