Question about halfway houses and landlord / tenant laws?
Question by Richard RIGHT: Question about halfway houses and landlord / tenant laws?
I’m the director for a halfway house / recovery house in Indianapolis, Indiana. I know there’s an Indiana statute that says the landlord laws don’t apply to properties operated by institutions for educational, religious or counseling purposes. But how can I write the contract so that we have the right to immediately evict someone for drinking or using drugs while a part of the program?
Thanks guys, you helped me a lot. Particularly helpful is the fact that you’re pretty much in agreement with each other on what you’re saying. But yes, I’ll speak with an attorney friend of mine, as well.

Answer by Bill
The landlord of the property you are renting will not be involved with your clients/patients only you or your organization. Your admission forms would be where you state that any clients/patients can be immediately expelled for use of alcohol or drugs while in the program. The clients/patients are not considered renters under state laws.
