Free Mississippi Sublease Agreement

Use our Mississippi Sublease Agreement to sublet to a new tenant.

Updated November 9, 2020

You’ll need a Mississippi sublease agreement if you want to rent out all or part of your property to another person (subtenant).

Known as the sublessor, the original tenant of a rental is responsible for the actions of their subtenant and:

  • paying monthly rent
  • keeping the property in good condition
  • adhering to the terms the original lease agreement

According to Mississippi sublease laws, all the rules and restrictions in the original lease still apply to the sublease. The original tenant is also accountable if anything goes wrong, such as damage to the property or unpaid rent.

To save time and ensure everything is filled out correctly, we recommend using our free Mississippi sublease agreement builder or reading our steps on how to write a Mississippi sublease agreement below.

How to Write a Mississippi Sublease Agreement

  1. Clearly identify the property type — This will typically be a condominium, house, apartment, or room. Check your lease if you’re unsure of the specific property type.
  2. Copy the rental address on the form — Write down the full address of the rental you’re subleasing in Mississippi, including the apartment number (if applicable) and zip code.
  3. Describe the rental in full — Define all the areas that are included in the sublease agreement, such as the total number of bedrooms, parking spots, and storage areas available to the subtenant.
  4. Define all rental restrictions — Include any restrictions to protect your property from damage, but make sure it doesn’t contradict the original lease. Common restrictions include a no smoking or pets clause.
  5. List the total rent due each month — Include the total monthly rental amount, utility bills, and any additional fees. Be sure to itemize exactly what’s due from your subtenant.
  6. Write down the current tenants’ names — Provide your full name and the names of anyone else who’s listed on the original lease.
  7. Indicate where to send notices — If you will not be living in the rental property at the same time as the subtenant, include the address where you’ll be staying so subtenants can send notices as needed.
  8. Include the subtenants’ names — Write down the full names of all subtenants who will be residing at the property.
  9. Specify the landlord’s name — Write the name of your landlord or property management company plus their contact information.
  10. Scan and print the original lease — In Mississippi, the terms and conditions of the original lease also apply to any sublease agreement that’s created. Print and attach a copy of the lease for your subtenant to review.
  11. Provide beginning and end dates — The date the sublease begins and ends must be noted.
  12. Sign the sublease — All parties must sign the sublease agreement. This includes the landlord/property manager, all original tenants, and all subtenants.

Mississippi Sublease FAQs

Can I legally sublet in Mississippi?

Yes, you can legally sublet in Mississippi. The landlord-tenant laws in Mississippi do not specifically address subleasing, so you’ll have to refer to your original lease for clarification. If the lease doesn’t mention that subletting is banned, you can legally sublease as long as you abide by all other terms and conditions listed within the original lease agreement.

Is subleasing in Mississippi possible without permission?

Yes, subleasing in Mississippi is possible without your landlord’s permission, but it’s always a good idea to let them know beforehand. As long as subletting isn’t specifically forbidden in your lease, you aren’t required to get permission to sublet the rental.

Can I get in trouble for subletting in Mississippi without an agreement?

What’s the best way to end a sublease agreement in Mississippi?

If you want to end a sublease agreement in Mississippi, the best way is to follow the formal eviction process. This is true for both subtenants and sublessors.

Subtenants — If you’re a subtenant looking to end your sublease agreement, the best way to do so is to communicate with the original tenant. It’s within their right to let you out of the sublease before the end date.

Otherwise, if you have a valid reason such as improper maintenance or suspected illegal activity on the premises, you may leave the property before the sublease ends.

Sublessors — If you’re a sublessor, the best way to end your sublease agreement is to provide the legally-required advance notice of your intention.

  • For non-payment violations, you must give your subtenant three days’ notice before ending the sublease.
  • For sublease term violations, you must give at least 14 days’ notice
  • For all other reasons, subtenants must be given 30 days’ notice that the sublease will not be renewed.
