The Indiana House voted Wednesday to overturn a 2020 veto made by Gov. Eric Holcomb. The measure that hampers local efforts to increase tenant rights and penalize bad acting landlords now becomes law. Last year’s legislation came after Indianapolis passed a set of ordinances to address high eviction rates. Holcomb vetoed the measure as the pandemic hit saying the law was too broad and ill-timed. This year lawmakers have passed accompanying bills that take out language that restricts “any” aspect of the landlord/tenant relationship. For Rep. Michael Young (R- Indianapolis) it came down to less government. “It is government interference with a private contract,” Young said.
