Indiana HB1435 amends the Indiana Code to enhance tenant protections by requiring landlords to maintain rental properties free from pests, mold, and rot. The bill defines essential services and systems necessary for safe and habitable living. It outlines a procedure for tenants to request repairs and mandates landlords to respond within 72 hours. If landlords fail to comply, tenants can deposit rent with the court, which may reduce the amount disbursed to the landlord if the landlord's failure contributed to the need for repairs.
