"Displaced person", "displaced", and "displacement" defined

Sec. 3. As used in this chapter, "displaced person" or "displaced" or "displacement" with reference to a person, means a person who moves from real property, or moves personal property from real property, because of the acquisition of the real property and the improvements located on the real property, or the partial acquisition of real property to the extent that continued use by the owner or occupant is rendered impossible or impracticable, or as the result of the written order of the acquiring agency to vacate the real property intended to be acquired by the agency, or as the result of an order issued by an agency engaged in code enforcement activities to vacate the real property. Solely for purposes of sections 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 of this chapter, the terms also include a person who moves from real property as a result of the acquisition of, or written order of the acquiring agency to vacate, other real property on which the person conducts a business or farm operation. When two (2) or more individuals living together in a single family dwelling are displaced from the dwelling, they are regarded as one (1) displaced person for purposes of this chapter, except that each individual may receive a payment for actual moving expenses and losses under section 13 of this chapter.
