Rental Housing
The Monroe County Health Department has no local rental housing code and functions more as a clearinghouse for information. A majority of calls are forwarded to the City of Bloomington Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) which enforces rental property code within Bloomington.

Our department provides information and guidance on tenant complaints. We also provide information regarding the Indiana State rule IC 32-31-7 and IC 32-31-8 Tenant Obligations and Landlord Obligations. Callers may be directed to Legal Aid Services, Monroe County Community Justice and Mediation, Monroe County Building Department, Animal Control, Waste Reduction District, and the Mobile Homes Compliance Section of the Indiana Department of Health when appropriate.
