Our Mississippi Lease Agreement is guaranteed to comply with all state Lease laws. But, we know that Pro Landlords like to be familiar with Landlord-Tenant laws when managing their property!

Month-to-Month Tenancy: By a written notice given to the other at least 30 days prior to the termination date.

Many cities and counties require inspections and registrations and have specific maintenance regulations.

This disclosure is automatically included in your Mississippi Lease Agreement.

addenda and disclosures

Pro Tip: The more information you share with Tenants at move-in, the more prepared they’ll be to take great care of your property. Add additional documents and disclosures, like a Welcome Letter or Pet Policy, to your Lease Package to set both you and your Tenant up for success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Lease need to be notarized in Mississippi?

No, Mississippi Lease Agreements do not need to be notarized. As long as they are signed by both parties, they are legally binding and fully enforceable.

Can you write your own simple Lease Agreement?

Yes, in theory, you can write a simple Lease Agreement by including the key terms of the rental relationship. However, this can leave Landlords without the protection they need. A basic, generic Lease Agreement might not address all terms of the rental relationship. Plus, even a simple Lease form needs to comply with all Mississippi Lease laws. This is why it’s best to avoid writing your own Lease unless you have experience doing so and are familiar with all Mississippi Lease laws.

Do I need a state-specific Lease in Mississippi?

Yes, everyone who Leases real estate needs a state-specific Lease Agreement. This is true whether you’re renting a single-family home, apartment, duplex, or condo. Your Lease Agreement is what protects you if problems arise with your Tenant or property.

And, it’s the laws of the state where your property is located that will control if you have to go to court. This means that to be protected, you need a state-specific Lease Agreement. There are some blank, fillable Lease forms, like the one offered by the Mississippi Association of Realtors, that Landlords can use. However, these can’t be customized to the property and can mean confusion for Landlords and Tenants

What is the standard Lease term in Mississippi?

The standard Lease term is one year (12 months). That said, shorter and longer Lease terms are accepted as long as both parties agree on the Lease term. This is why we offer short-term Leases, Vacation Rental Contracts, Month-to-Month Lease Agreements, and Long-term Lease Agreements.

How should I store my Lease Agreement?

It’s important that your signed Lease Agreements are accessible so that you can refer to them as needed. That said, it’s also important that they’re somewhere secure. There are a few ways that you can achieve both objectives.

Our Mississippi Rental Contracts are automatically stored securely on the cloud with our ezCloudStorage. They’re also EZ to print or download. Whatever method you choose, make sure that your Lease is stored securely and accessible.

Mississippi Rental Forms & Templates

The Lease is just one of many forms Landlords need. That’s why we have over 400 property management forms covering the entire Landlord Lifecycle.

  • Rental Application: Our Free Rental Application makes it EZ for Landlords to gather important information about Tenants and start a complete Tenant Screening.

Pro Tip: Thorough Tenant Screening should include a credit report, ResidentScore, criminal history background report, and eviction history report. View sample reports or start your screening here.

  • Move-In/Move-Out Walkthrough Checklist: Document the condition of your rental unit at move-in and move-out using this customizable checklist. This is a must if you collect a security deposit!
  • Tenant Welcome Letter: Customize this letter to share important information about your rental unit with your renters.
  • Rent Ledger: Stay up to date with all rental payments and ensure you have adequate documentation in the event Tenants miss a payment.
  • Mississippi 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Vacate: This notice should be used when Tenants are late with rent. It’s a necessary first step in the eviction process.
  • Mississippi 30-Day Notice to Quit: This notice should be used for Lease violations other than nonpayment of rent. It’s a necessary first step in the eviction process.
