Free Indiana Residential Lease/Rental Agreement

Use our Indiana Lease Agreement to rent out your property.

Updated November 6, 2020 | 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

Keep in mind that not all states will have identical rental and leasing requirements, and will often differ on important issues.

It’s very important for you to 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.

1. Indiana Residential Lease Agreement Sample

The sample lease agreement below describes a contract between “Landlord” Katie Harris and “Tenant” Jennifer Phillips. She agrees to rent a duplex in Indianapolis for $1,000 per month for a fixed term beginning on June 20, 2017 and ending on December 20, 2017. The tenant agrees to pay for all utilities and services for the premises.

This is a good example of what provisions a simple lease agreement might contain, and how one should look in its final form.

Additionally, Indiana law requires:

Utilities:

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