Lease Agreements in Indiana

Indiana landlord-tenant law is governed by Ind. Code § 32-31. Indiana is generally landlord-friendly with no cap on security deposits and a 10-day notice required for non-payment evictions. State law preempts local rent control ordinances, so no Indiana city can enact rent control. Security deposits must be returned within 45 days.
