INDIANA RESIDENTIAL LEASE AGREEMENT

This Residential Lease Agreement (this "Agreement") is made on [[Agreement Date]] by and between [[Landlord Name]] ("Landlord") and [[Tenant Name(s)]] (jointly and severally, "Tenant"). Landlord and Tenant agree as follows.

1. Definitions

"Premises" means the dwelling unit and any assigned parking, storage, and furnishings identified in Section 2. "Rent" means all amounts payable under this Agreement. "Lease Term" means the period stated in Section 3. "Security Deposit" has the meaning in Section 6. "Ordinary Wear and Tear" means deterioration that occurs through normal, reasonable use of the Premises; it does not include damage caused by neglect, misuse, accident, or alterations. Words importing the singular include the plural and vice versa.

2. Premises; Parking; Storage; Furnishings

Landlord leases to Tenant the residential premises located at [[Property Address]], [[City]], Indiana [[ZIP Code]] (the "Premises"). Assigned parking space(s): [[Parking Space(s), or "None"]]. Assigned storage area: [[Storage Area, or "None"]]. Furnishings and appliances included in the lease: [[Furnishings and Appliances]]. Tenant has inspected the Premises and accepts it in its present condition except as noted on the Move-In Inventory and Condition Report (Exhibit A). The Premises shall be used exclusively as a private residential dwelling.

3. Term; Possession

The Lease Term is [[Lease Term Length]], beginning [[Lease Start Date]] ("Move-In Date") and ending [[Lease End Date]]. If Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises on the Move-In Date, Rent shall abate until possession is delivered, and if delivery is delayed more than [[Possession Delay Cap, e.g., 10 days]], Tenant may terminate this Agreement by written notice and receive a full refund of all prepaid amounts. If Tenant occupies the Premises before the Move-In Date with Landlord's written consent, all terms of this Agreement apply to that early-occupancy period. Holdover is governed by Section 28.

4. Rent; Payment

Tenant shall pay monthly Rent of [[Monthly Rent]], due in advance on the [[Rent Due Day, e.g., 1st]] day of each calendar month, without offset, deduction, or demand. Payment shall be made by [[Accepted Payment Methods]] to [[Rent Payment Address or Online Portal]]. If the Term begins on a day other than the first, the first month's Rent is prorated at a daily rate of one-thirtieth (1/30) of the monthly Rent. Acceptance of a partial payment is not a waiver of any default or of Landlord's rights under this Agreement or applicable law.

5. Late Charges; Returned Payments

Rent not received by Landlord within [[Grace Period, e.g., 5 days]] after the due date shall incur a late charge of [[Late Fee Amount]], which represents a reasonable estimate of the actual loss Landlord sustains from late payment. Recurring or chronic lateness may constitute a material breach independent of the late charge. Any payment returned or dishonored by a financial institution shall incur an additional fee of [[Returned Payment Fee]]. Tenant shall promptly replace a returned payment with certified funds. Late charges and returned-payment fees do not cure a default.

6. Security Deposit

Upon signing this Agreement, Tenant shall pay a security deposit of [[Security Deposit Amount]]. Indiana imposes no statutory cap on the security deposit amount (Indiana Code (IC) 32-31-3 et seq.), but the deposit must be held in accordance with Indiana law. The deposit secures Tenant's faithful performance of all obligations under this Agreement and may be applied to: (a) unpaid Rent or other amounts owed; (b) repair of damage to the Premises beyond Ordinary Wear and Tear; (c) cleaning costs necessary to restore the Premises to its move-in condition; and (d) any other amounts Tenant owes under this Agreement or Indiana law. Return and Itemization: Within 45 days after the tenancy terminates and Tenant vacates, Landlord shall return the deposit balance, if any, together with a written, itemized statement of any deductions, to Tenant's last known address or any forwarding address provided by Tenant (IC 32-31-3-12). Penalty for Wrongful Withholding: If Landlord wrongfully withholds any portion of the deposit, Tenant may recover double the amount wrongfully withheld plus court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (IC 32-31-3-13). Tenant May Not Apply Deposit as Last Month's Rent unless Landlord gives prior written consent.

7. Utilities; Services

Tenant shall pay for and place in Tenant's name the following utilities/services: [[Tenant-Paid Utilities, e.g., electricity, gas, water, internet]], effective on the Move-In Date. Landlord shall pay for: [[Landlord-Paid Utilities, e.g., trash, sewer, or "None"]]. Tenant shall not allow any utility service to lapse. Landlord is not liable for any interruption of utility services beyond Landlord's reasonable control.

8. Occupants; Guests

The Premises shall be occupied only by Tenant and the following additional authorized occupants: [[Permitted Additional Occupants]]. Any person other than an authorized occupant who resides at the Premises for more than [[Guest Stay Limit, e.g., 14 consecutive days or 21 days in any 60-day period]] without Landlord's prior written consent may be deemed an unauthorized occupant and a material breach of this Agreement. Tenant shall not use the Premises as a short-term rental (e.g., Airbnb, VRBO) without Landlord's prior written consent and compliance with all applicable local ordinances.

9. Use; Conduct; Quiet Enjoyment

Tenant shall use the Premises only as a private residential dwelling and in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Tenant shall not create a nuisance, disturb neighbors' quiet enjoyment, conduct any unlawful activity, or operate any business on the Premises that violates law or applicable zoning. Landlord covenants that Tenant shall have quiet enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in default.

10. Pets; Assistance Animals

Pet Policy: [[Pet Policy, e.g., No pets permitted / Pets permitted per Exhibit C]]. No pet or animal shall be kept on the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, except that Landlord shall permit an assistance animal (service animal or emotional support animal) to the extent required by the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. §3604) and Indiana law upon receipt of appropriate documentation. Tenant is solely responsible for all damage, injury, noise complaints, and cleaning costs caused by any animal, and shall pay a [[Pet Deposit, or "N/A"]] where permitted. Any pet fee collected is subject to the security deposit accounting rules of IC 32-31-3 if it is refundable.

11. Smoking; Cannabis

Smoking Policy: [[Smoking Policy, e.g., No smoking of any substance on Premises or within 25 feet of any entrance]]. Indiana law (IC 22-6-3.5) restricts smoking in certain enclosed areas. Tenant is responsible for all damage caused by smoking, including deodorization and repainting. Cannabis: regardless of Indiana law status, cannabis cultivation and use are [[Cannabis Policy, e.g., strictly prohibited on the Premises]].

12. Parking; Vehicles

Only operable, currently licensed and registered vehicles belonging to Tenant or authorized occupants may be parked in assigned spaces. Inoperable, unlicensed, or unregistered vehicles, and vehicles parked in unauthorized areas, may be towed at the owner's expense without prior notice to the extent permitted by applicable law. Tenant shall comply with all parking rules set forth in Exhibit B. Oil leaks, fluid spills, and similar damage to parking surfaces shall be repaired or remediated at Tenant's expense.

13. Maintenance and Repair, Landlord Obligations

Landlord shall maintain the Premises in a habitable condition, in compliance with applicable building codes, housing standards, and ordinances. Landlord's obligations include: (a) keeping the roof, exterior walls, structural components, floors, and common areas in good repair; (b) maintaining all electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling (if supplied), and sanitary systems in safe and good working order; (c) maintaining all Landlord-supplied appliances; (d) providing and maintaining effective weather protection; and (e) keeping common areas clean, sanitary, and safe. Landlord's duty of habitability is non-waivable under IC 32-31-7-3 and IC 32-31-8-5.

Tenant shall: (a) keep the Premises clean, sanitary, and free of hazards; (b) properly use and operate all electrical, gas, heating, cooling, plumbing, and other fixtures and appliances; (c) replace HVAC filters every [[HVAC Filter Change Interval]], light bulbs in fixtures serving Tenant, and smoke/carbon monoxide detector batteries; (d) keep all drains clear and free of clogs resulting from Tenant's use; (e) promptly report to Landlord any condition requiring repair; (f) maintain the yard, lawn, and landscaping as agreed: [[Yard/Landscaping Responsibility]]; and (g) pay for all repair costs resulting from Tenant's, occupants', or guests' damage, misuse, or neglect.

15. Repair Requests; Emergency Procedures

Routine repair requests shall be submitted in writing (including email) to Landlord at [[Repair Contact Name and Contact Info]]. Landlord shall make required repairs within a reasonable time after receiving written notice; for conditions affecting habitability, reasonable time is generally interpreted narrowly. For emergencies threatening life or property, including loss of heat in winter, gas leaks, flooding, or structural failures, Tenant shall immediately contact [[Emergency Contact and Procedure]] and may also contact emergency services (911) as appropriate. Tenant shall not attempt unauthorized repairs except as expressly permitted by Indiana law and shall not deduct repair costs from Rent except as permitted by IC 32-31-4-1 et seq. following proper statutory notice.

16. Alterations; Improvements; Lock Changes

Tenant shall not paint, wallpaper, install fixtures, make structural changes, install satellite dishes or antennas, or make any other alteration to the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent. Approved alterations become Landlord's property at the end of the tenancy unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

17. Landlord's Right of Entry

Landlord or Landlord's agent may enter the Premises to: (a) inspect the condition; (b) make necessary repairs, improvements, or alterations; (c) supply agreed services; (d) show the Premises to prospective tenants, purchasers, lenders, or contractors; or (e) investigate an emergency. Landlord shall provide at least 24 hours' advance written notice before entry, which shall occur at reasonable times (IC 32-31-5-6). In an emergency, Landlord may enter without advance notice. Entry does not terminate the tenancy or constitute an eviction. Tenant shall not deny Landlord reasonable access.

18. Renter's Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation

Tenant is strongly encouraged and, at Landlord's election, required to maintain renter's insurance with personal liability coverage of at least [[Renter's Insurance Minimum, e.g., $100,000 per occurrence]] and personal-property coverage of at least [[Personal Property Coverage Minimum]] throughout the Term. Tenant shall provide proof of coverage to Landlord within [[Days to Provide Proof, e.g., 10 days]] of signing and upon renewal. Each party, to the extent of insurance proceeds available, waives any right of subrogation against the other party. Landlord's insurance does not cover Tenant's personal property or personal liability.

19. Liability; Indemnification

Except to the extent caused by Landlord's negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of applicable law, Tenant assumes full responsibility for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from, any and all claims, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises; (b) the acts, omissions, or negligence of Tenant, authorized occupants, guests, or invitees; or (c) Tenant's breach of this Agreement. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's insurance does not cover Tenant's personal-liability exposures.

20. Assignment and Subletting

Tenant shall not assign this Agreement, sublet all or any portion of the Premises, or otherwise transfer any interest herein without Landlord's prior written consent, which Landlord may withhold or condition in Landlord's reasonable discretion.

Tenant shall comply with all House Rules attached as Exhibit B and any applicable homeowners' or condominium association rules and regulations: [[HOA/Condo Rules, or "None"]].

22. Damage or Destruction (Casualty)

If the Premises is damaged by fire, storm, or other casualty not caused or contributed to by Tenant and the damage renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises uninhabitable, Rent shall abate proportionally for the affected portion from the date the Premises becomes uninhabitable. If the damage cannot reasonably be repaired within [[Casualty Repair Period, e.g., 60 days]] after the date of damage, either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice. If the damage is caused or contributed to by Tenant's negligence or misconduct, Rent shall not abate, and Tenant shall remain liable for repair costs beyond applicable insurance coverage.

23. Condemnation; Eminent Domain

If all or a materially significant portion of the Premises is taken or condemned by any governmental authority through eminent domain or otherwise, this Agreement shall terminate as to the portion taken on the date possession is required to be surrendered, and Rent shall be adjusted accordingly. The entire condemnation award belongs to Landlord. Tenant may pursue a separate claim for Tenant's moving expenses and other compensation available to tenants under Indiana law, provided Tenant does not diminish Landlord's award.

Landlord shall not engage in self-help eviction (lockouts, utility shut-offs, or removal of Tenant's property) except as expressly permitted by a court order. After termination, Tenant remains liable for all Rent and costs through re-letting or the end of the Term, whichever is earlier, subject to Landlord's duty to mitigate damages.

25. Landlord Default; Tenant's Remedies

If Landlord materially fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or applicable Indiana law, Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice specifying the default. If Landlord fails to cure within a reasonable time (not to exceed [[Landlord Cure Period, e.g., 30 days]] for non-emergency matters), Tenant may pursue remedies available under Indiana law, including IC 32-31-4-1 et seq. (repair and deduct for health/safety violations, subject to statutory procedure) and IC 32-31-8 (retaliatory conduct).

28. Holdover

If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the Lease End Date without Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant becomes a tenant at sufferance, and: (a) Tenant shall pay holdover Rent at a rate of [[Holdover Rent Rate, e.g., 150% of the then-current monthly Rent]] on a month-to-month basis; (b) Tenant shall be liable for all damages arising from the holdover, including any damages Landlord sustains because Landlord cannot deliver the Premises to a new tenant; and (c) all other terms of this Agreement remain in effect. If Landlord accepts Rent without objection after the Lease End Date, a month-to-month tenancy is created on the terms of this Agreement, terminable by either party on at least one full rental period's written notice (IC 32-31-1-1 et seq.).

33. Waiver; Non-Waiver

No failure or delay by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement or applicable law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right. Acceptance of partial or late Rent payment is not a waiver of any breach or of any right to proceed against Tenant for default. A written waiver of a specific breach does not constitute a waiver of any future breach.

34. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

35. Time of Essence

Time is of the essence with respect to all dates and deadlines in this Agreement, including Rent due dates, move-in and move-out dates, notice periods, and deposit return deadlines.
