Free Indiana Residential Lease/Rental Agreement

Use our free Lease Agreement form to rent your property in Indiana.

Updated January 9, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

Regardless of your state, Federal law mandates certain information be provided in each lease agreement. For example, all lease and rental agreements (including those in Indiana) should list the following:

  1. The property address and description,
  2. Landlord and tenant names and contact information,
  3. Pet allowances and prohibitions,
  4. Information regarding lead-based hazards,
  5. The amount of rent and security deposit due,
  6. The date and location of when and where the rent is to be paid

Remember that not all states will have identical rental and leasing requirements and often differ on important issues.

You must familiarize yourself with Indiana’s specific requirements and laws to help create a comprehensive and complete lease agreement. By better understanding these laws, you can better protect your future financial and legal interests and possibly even prevent future litigation.

Additionally, Indiana law requires:

Utilities:

  2. A heating system must be able to provide heat at all hours adequately.
