Tenant resources
This is a ZIP lookup for all of it: rent and utility aid, inspections, a lawyer, and the statutes.
Listing an office is not a referral, and programs run out of money. Indiana does not give tenants a general right to withhold rent. Start with written notice if the unit is not being repaired.
