Create a Mississippi Lease Agreement with our attorney-drafted template!
A Mississippi lease agreement is a legally binding contract between a property owner and the person who wants to lease the property (commonly referred to as a tenant). Generally, the property being leased is either residential or commercial in nature. A Mississippi lease agreement must comply with the landlord-tenant laws of the state.
The most commonly used Mississippi lease agreements are the commercial lease agreement, a standard residential lease agreement, a lease to own agreement, a sublease agreement, and a roommate agreement.

The State of Mississippi does not limit the amount that a landlord may request as a security deposit. However, the landlord must return the security deposit within 45 of the end of the lease.
