Sec. 4. The residential landlord-tenant statutes do not apply to any of the following arrangements unless the arrangement was created to avoid application of the residential landlord-tenant statutes:

(1) Residence at a rental unit owned or operated by an institution that is directly related to detention or the provision of medical care, maternity home care, education, counseling, religious service, geriatric service, or a similar service.

(2) Occupancy under a contract of sale of a rental unit or the property of which the rental unit is a part if the occupant is the purchaser or a person who succeeds to the purchaser’s interest. However, the residential landlord-tenant statutes apply to occupancy of a rental unit under a rental agreement described in IC 32-31-3-7(b).

(3) Occupancy by a member of a fraternal or social organization in the part of a structure operated for the benefit of the organization.

(4) Transient occupancy in a hotel, motel, or other lodging.

(5) Occupancy by an employee of a landlord whose right to occupancy is conditional upon employment in or about the premises.

(6) Occupancy by an owner of a condominium unit or a holder of a proprietary lease in a cooperative.

(7) Occupancy under a rental agreement covering property used by the occupant primarily for agricultural purposes.
