Indiana Eviction Notice

Use our Indiana Eviction Notice to remove a tenant from your rental property.

Published August 6, 2020

If you’re a landlord seeking to evict a tenant, use an Indiana (IN) eviction notice to begin the process. Your eviction notice must be written according to Indiana state law, and give your tenant the legally required amount of time to respond or move out.

In Indiana, eviction lawsuits are governed by Title 32, Article 31 Landlord-Tenant Relations of Indiana.

For reference, an Indiana Eviction Notice is also referred to as:

  • Indiana Notice to Quit
  • Indiana Notice to Vacate
  • Indiana Lease Termination

If you wish to send a letter simply reminding your tenant that rent is late (without threat of eviction), use a late rent notice.


Indiana Eviction Laws and Requirements

  • Eviction Lawsuits: A landlord can recover attorneys’ fees and costs if they are successful in the eviction hearing. Indiana Code 32-31-7-7
  • Late or Non-Payment of Rent: 10 days Indiana Code 32-31-1-6
  • Grace Period for Non-Payment of Rent: Not required by law, but there may be a grace period included in the lease agreement.
  • Notice of Non-Compliance: “Reasonable amount of time” to cure the breach. Indiana Code 31-31-7-7

What is the Eviction Process in Indiana?

Step 1: Deliver the eviction notice 

The first step in the eviction process is to deliver the appropriate Indiana eviction notice to the tenant in person. If you can’t find your tenant, then you can deliver the notice to anyone who resides on the premises, or post the notice on the tenant’s door.

Step 2: Wait for the tenant to act 

The tenant can either fix (or “cure”) the problem, or move out within the timeframe provided by the notice.

Step 3: File the eviction documents 

In Indiana, evictions can be filed in Small Claims Court when the amount of rent due is less than $6,000. A landlord or tenant can also file emergency possessory actions in small claims court as well. Emergency orders may be granted if the tenant is engaging in harmful or damaging behavior while on the property.

Step 4: Serve the eviction documents on the tenant 

The tenant must be served a notice that indicates when they should appear in court to defend against the eviction.

Step 5: Attend the court hearing 

At the hearing, the court will hear a landlord’s arguments and any defenses that a tenant may have against the eviction. A judgement will be made, and the tenant will either be allowed to remain on the property or forcibly removed by the sheriff.

Eviction Information for Indiana Tenants and Landlords

Tenants

Landlords are not permitted to engage in “self-help” evictions to try and force you to move out. If your landlord has changed the locks or shut off your utilities without a court order, you may be able to use an emergency possessory order to get access to your home or belongings.

Tenants can get additional information about renting in Indiana in the Renting in Indiana Handbook from Indiana Legal Services, Inc.

Landlords

Tenants may be evicted in some limited circumstances without notice. This includes situations where a tenant does any of the following:

  • Commits waste such as willfully destroying the property
  • Refuses to pay rent in advance under terms of their contract
  • Holds over past the period agreed upon to rent the property

Additionally, if you’ve already gone through the lease termination process, then a tenant is not permitted to remain on the property and can be evicted without notice.

You can take immediate legal action if you believe that the tenant is a threat to the health and safety of themselves or other tenants.
