Property Management Laws by State

Property Management Laws in Indiana

Must Indiana property management companies have a real estate broker's license?

YES. Key components of property management (renting, leasing and managing) are considered real estate activities under existing Indiana real estate licensing laws. If a property manager is going to lease, rent, manage, list, or negotiate or offer to perform any of those acts, he or she will need a real estate license.

Are there any exceptions to the requirement that an Indiana property manager have a broker's license?

Yes. For example, an individual involved in the renting of residential apartment units need not be licensed if he or she is employed or supervised by a licensed broker. Also, the license requirement does not apply to the rental of residential apartment units by a person employed or supervised by a licensed broker.

For more information about these and other Indiana property management requirements and exceptions, please contact the Indiana Real Estate Commission.

Before hiring a property manager to manage your Indiana rental property, you should always check that he or she is licensed appropriately. You can check the license status of Indiana property managers at the Indiana Online Licensing website.
