Indiana is one of only six states that don't allow tenants to use their rent as leverage to make landlords comply with their lease. Stories of people living in inhabitable housing - no heat, rats, mold infestation, doors and windows that don't lock - are common. In other states, tenants withhold or escrow their rent to force landlords to make repairs. Escrow allows a tenant to pay their rent to the courts, who hold on to it until and unless repairs are made. We need rent escrow in Indiana. We need tenants to have some recourse.

Help us get the word out by supporting the creation of a documentary showing the deplorable conditions some tenants deal with. We need to show how bad actor landlords are taking advantage of Hoosiers by knowingly operating in a state that doesn't hold them accountable.

We need to raise $5,000 to finish this documentary in time for the upcoming 2024 General Assembly. Any amount will help. Thank you!
