The Indiana Lease Agreement is a legally binding contract between a landlord and a tenant for the purpose of renting either commercial or residential property. The tenant will typically view the property and, if interested, will negotiate with the landlord to come to an agreement.
Rental Application – A Rental Application is a form used to verify a tenant’s identity. The landlord will then verify the tenant’s credit and income to assess their ability to pay rent. Once the tenant is approved, the landlord will prepare a lease agreement that both parties will sign to formalize the rental agreement.
