Indiana Room Rental Agreement

Ensure you adhere to state laws with our comprehensive fill-in and downloadable Indiana Room Rental Agreement template.

The Indiana Room Rental Agreement should comply with the landlord-tenant laws specific to Indiana. These laws protect the rights of both the landlord and the tenant and regulate various aspects of the rental relationship, including rent increases, eviction processes, and security deposit restrictions.

Access to the Room 

Space access should be determined as follows:

  • The property owner is privileged to access the leased room and shared spaces for upkeep, rectifications, or evaluations, provided the tenant is given fair notice.
  • The occupant has the right to expect a reasonable degree of privacy and peaceful possession of the leased room.

Guest & Pets Policy 

In an Indiana Room Rental Agreement, the Guest and Pets Policy can be outlined as follows:

Guest Policy:

  • Define the maximum number of guests a tenant can have at a time.
  • Specify the length of stay for a guest before they’re considered a tenant. In Indiana, a guest is regarded as a tenant when they stay in the rental for over two (2) weeks within six (6) months.
  • State whether guests can stay overnight and, if so, for how many nights.
  • Clarify if there are any restrictions or rules for guests, such as quiet hours or use of common areas.

Pets Policy:

  • Specify whether pets are allowed. If pets are allowed, detail the types of pets permitted.
  • State any restrictions on the size, breed, or number of pets a tenant can have.
  • Outline any additional fees or deposits required for pets.
  • Include rules for pet behavior and cleanup responsibilities.

Security Deposit Regulations 

  • In this state, there’s no state-imposed limit on the amount charged for a security deposit. This means that the security deposit could sometimes surpass the monthly rent.
  • Regardless of the circumstances, Indiana law mandates that landlords must return the security deposit within 45 days following the termination of the lease. This is in accordance with the State Law. The only circumstance in which a landlord may withhold the security deposit is to cover the cost of repairs for damages that occurred during the tenant’s occupancy.
