What a Indiana lease must include

Indiana gives tenants 10 days to pay overdue rent before a landlord can file for eviction, longer than most of its neighbors (IC 32-31-1-6). There is no deposit cap, deposits are due back within 45 days, and state law bars local rent control.

These are the clauses and disclosures our Indiana template carries. Each cites the statute it comes from; the ones marked checkbox are filled from your property's answers.

Indiana lease FAQ

Does Indiana cap security deposits?

Indiana sets no statutory maximum on the deposit, and it must be returned within 45 days (IC 32-31-3-12). The template states both in the deposit clause.

What late fee can a Indiana landlord charge?

No statutory cap See IC 32-31-1-1, 32-31-1-20. The template carries the rule and the grace period you set.

Is a lead-paint disclosure required?

For any building built before 1978, yes — it is federal (42 U.S.C. § 4852d). The template includes the EPA pamphlet acknowledgment automatically.

Is this lease legally binding once e-signed?

Yes. Electronic signatures are valid under the federal E-SIGN Act and Indiana's UETA; the signed PDF, audit trail and timestamps are stored with the tenant record.

Can I edit the template?

Every paragraph is editable before signing. Clauses Indiana requires are marked and cannot be removed by accident.
