Mississippi Rental Lease Agreement Templates (6)

A Mississippi lease agreement is a document that binds a landlord and a tenant to the terms and conditions of renting commercial/residential real estate. It will dictate the cost of rent, the responsibilities of the tenant, the potential causes for termination, and the length of the lease. Generally speaking, the landlord will screen all applicants to ensure that they’re suitable for tenancy and have sufficient income to pay rent. Once all terms have been reviewed by the parties, each applicable signatory can provide their signature to render the document legally binding.
