Statewide—Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed a statewide order in March that placed a moratorium on most tenant evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. In mid-May he extended that moratorium until July 1. But that has not prevented some Indiana landlords from filing eviction lawsuits anyway.
The only exception to this rule is emergency evictions are now permitted if there is a specific immediate and serious injury, damage, or loss to the property. Also, emergency foreclosures are permitted if the property is vacant or if there is a specific immediate and serious injury, damage, or loss to the property.
If you or someone you know has questions in regards to renter’s rights or eviction, you can call Indiana Legal Services’ general intake line (844-243-8570) weekdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to be connected to help. Individuals seeking legal assistance can also contact the agency online at IndianaLegalServices.org.
