and profits in controversy are in danger of being lost, removed, or
materially injured.
(4) In actions in which a mortgagee seeks to foreclose a mortgage.
However, upon motion by the mortgagee, the court shall appoint

removed, or materially injured;

a receiver;
(D) a person not personally liable for the debt secured by the
mortgage has, or is entitled to, possession of all or a portion of
the property;
(E) the owner of the property is not personally liable for the
debt secured by the mortgage; or
(F) all or any portion of the property is being, or is intended to
be, leased for any purpose.

execution or order of sale, and to secure rents and profits to the
person entitled to the rents and profits.
(7) Upon request by a utility providing utility service to a mobile
home community (as defined in IC 16-41-27-5), or to a
multifamily residential property with more than four (4) dwelling
units, when the property owner has failed to pay:
(A) invoiced utility bills for a period greater than ninety (90)
days from the due date of the initial outstanding invoice; or
(B) amounts due under a curative payment plan for a period of
at least sixty (60) days from the initial due date prescribed
under the payment plan;
notwithstanding any other right the utility has to secure payment.
(8) In other cases as may be provided by law or where, in the
discretion of the court, it may be necessary to secure ample justice
to the parties.
