An Indiana room rental agreement serves to establish the rights and responsibilities of a principal tenant and a subtenant renting a specific room within a residential property. It typically includes details such as the property address, the contractual term, rent amount and payment details, security deposit information, utility responsibilities, house rules, and provisions for maintenance.
This agreement aims to ensure a solid living arrangement, prevent misunderstandings, and provide legal protection for the parties involved. Before executing the contract, using a rental application streamlines the screening process, aiding the principal tenant in choosing suitable subtenants.
