Lease Agreements in Mississippi
Mississippi landlord-tenant law is primarily governed by Miss. Code Ann. § 89-8-1 et seq. Mississippi is a landlord-friendly state with no cap on security deposits and a brief 3-day notice for non-payment evictions.
Mississippi has no rent control and no statewide implied warranty of habitability under statute, though courts have recognized habitability obligations. Deposits must be returned within 45 days.
